    126g/mol

    Explanation:

    Molar mass is the mass of all the atoms in a molecule or compound in grams per mole (g/mol or gmol-1). To calculate the molar mass of a molecule, we first obtain the atomic weights of the individual elements in a periodic table. We then count the number of atoms and multiply it by the individual atomic masses.

    •Atomic weight of Sodium Na = 23g/mol

    •Atomic weight of Sulphur S = 32g/mol

    •Atomic weight of Oxygen O = 16g/mol

    •Find the sum of the atomic weights / molar masses of all the elements.

    We have 2 atoms of Sodium Na and three atoms of Oxygen O. This implies that we will have to multiply the number of their atoms present by their atomic masses/molar masses.

    Molar mass of Na2SO3 = (number of atoms * atomic mass of Na) + (number of atoms * atomic mass of S) + (number of atoms * atomic mass of O)

    Molar mass of Na2SO3 = (2*23g/mol) + (1*32g/mol) + (3*16g/mol)

    Molar mass of Na2SO3 = 46g/mol + 32g/mol + 48g/mol

    Molar mass of Na2SO3 = 126g/mol

    Therefore the molar mass of Na2SO3 is 126g/mol
