Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that the molar mass of an element corresponds to the atomic mass of that element expressed in grams per mole (g/mol). This value is typically found on the periodic table.
Look up the atomic masses of the given elements on the periodic table: Silicon (Si), Chlorine (Cl), Phosphorus (P), and Sulfur (S).
Compare each element's atomic mass to the given molar mass of 30.974 g/mol.
Identify which element's atomic mass matches 30.974 g/mol. This element will be the one with the molar mass of 30.974 g/mol.
Confirm that the element with atomic mass closest to 30.974 g/mol is Phosphorus (P), as its atomic mass is approximately 30.974 g/mol.
