Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To calculate the molar mass of fluoxetine (C17H18F3NO), sum the atomic masses of all atoms in the molecule: 17C (12.01 g/mol each) + 18H (1.01 g/mol each) + 3F (19.00 g/mol each) + 1N (14.01 g/mol) + 1O (16.00 g/mol). This calculation gives approximately 309 g/mol.
