To find the molar mass of Flunitrazepam (C16H12FN3O3), you need to calculate the sum of the molar masses of all the atoms in its molecular formula. The molecular formula indicates that the molecule contains:

  • 16 carbon (C) atoms
  • 12 hydrogen (H) atoms
  • 1 fluorine (F) atom
  • 3 nitrogen (N) atoms
  • 3 oxygen (O) atoms

Using the atomic masses of each element:

  • Carbon (C): approximately 12.01 g/mol
  • Hydrogen (H): approximately 1.01 g/mol
  • Fluorine (F): approximately 19.00 g/mol
  • Nitrogen (N): approximately 14.01 g/mol
  • Oxygen (O): approximately 16.00 g/mol

Now, calculate the total molar mass:

  1. For carbon: 16 C × 12.01 g/mol = 192.16 g/mol
  2. For hydrogen: 12 H × 1.01 g/mol = 12.12 g/mol
  3. For fluorine: 1 F × 19.00 g/mol = 19.00 g/mol
