Iron III  sulfate hexahydrate has the chemical formula Fe2 SO4 36H2O. To calculate its molar mass, we need to add the molar masses of all the atoms in the compound.Fe  Iron  = 55.845 g/molS  Sulfur  = 32.07 g/molO  Oxygen  = 16.00 g/molH  Hydrogen  = 1.008 g/molThe compound has:- 2 Iron atoms- 3 Sulfate  SO4  groups, which have 1 Sulfur and 4 Oxygen atoms each- 6 Water  H2O  molecules, which have 2 Hydrogen and 1 Oxygen atom eachMolar mass of Fe2 SO4 36H2O =  2  55.845  +  3   1  32.07 + 4  16.00   +  6   2  1.008 + 1  16.00  =  2  55.845  +  3   32.07 + 64.00   +  6   2.016 + 16.00  = 111.69 +  3  96.07  +  6  18.016 = 111.69 + 288.21 + 108.096= 507.996 g/molSo, the molar mass of iron III  sulfate hexahydrate is approximately 508 g/mol.
