Where can you find the molar mass of aluminum for use in chemical calculations?

• A. In the list of common laboratory equipment
• B. By measuring the volume of aluminum
• C. In the safety data sheet for aluminum
• D. On the periodic table

Answer: (D)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Understand that the molar mass of an element is the mass of one mole of its atoms, usually expressed in grams per mole (g/mol).
2. Recognize that the molar mass is a fundamental property of each element and is typically found on the periodic table, where each element's atomic mass is listed.
3. Note that the list of common laboratory equipment does not contain chemical property data such as molar masses.
4. Understand that measuring the volume of aluminum alone does not provide its molar mass, as molar mass relates mass to moles, not volume.
5. Know that the safety data sheet (SDS) provides safety and handling information, but not the molar mass; therefore, the periodic table is the correct source for molar mass.
