Start by understanding the concept of molar mass, which is the mass of one mole of a substance, typically expressed in grams per mole (g/mol).
Use the formula for molar mass: \( \text{Molar Mass} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Moles}} \). This formula relates the mass of a sample to the number of moles of the substance.
Identify the given values in the problem: the mass of diazepam is 15.86 g, and the number of moles is 0.05570 mol.
Substitute the given values into the molar mass formula: \( \text{Molar Mass} = \frac{15.86 \text{ g}}{0.05570 \text{ mol}} \).
Perform the division to calculate the molar mass, ensuring that the units are consistent and the calculation is accurate.
