Q1.
for:
a) sulfuric acid --> HSO4
MW = H+S+4*O = 1+32 + 4*16 = 97 g/mol
b)
perchloric acid, "per" means plenty of oxygens so
HClO4 --
MW = 1 + 35.5 + 16*4 = 100.5 g/mol
c)
Dinitrogen = N2, pentoxide = O5
so
N2O5 --> 2*14 + 5*16 = 108 g/mol
d)
Chromium --> Cr+3 and Suldate = SO4-2 so:
Cr2(SO4)3
MW = 52*2 + (32+16*4)*3 = 392 g/mol
