Explanation:

Step1: Determine the number of each atom

First, we analyze the chemical formula \((\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2)_2\text{NH}\). Let's expand it:
- For carbon (C): In each \(\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\) group, there are 2 C atoms, and since there are 2 such groups, the number of C atoms is \(2\times2 = 4\).
- For hydrogen (H): In each \(\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\) group, there are \(3 + 2=5\) H atoms, and with 2 groups, that's \(2\times5 = 10\), plus the 1 H from NH, so total H atoms: \(10 + 1=11\)? Wait, no, wait. Wait, \((\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2)_2\) is \((\text{C}_2\text{H}_5)_2=\text{C}_4\text{H}_{10}\), then plus NH which is N and H. So total H: 10 (from \(\text{C}_4\text{H}_{10}\)) + 1 (from NH) = 11? Wait, no, wait the formula is \((\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2)_2\text{NH}\), so let's count each atom:
- Carbon (C): Each \(\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\) has 2 C, so 2 groups: \(2\times2 = 4\) C atoms.
- Hydrogen (H): Each \(\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\) has \(3 + 2 = 5\) H, so 2 groups: \(2\times5 = 10\) H, plus the 1 H from NH: \(10 + 1 = 11\) H atoms? Wait, no, wait \(\text{NH}\) has 1 N and 1 H? Wait, no, \(\text{NH}\) is N and H? Wait, no, the formula is \((\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2)_2\text{NH}\), so let's write the expanded formula: \(\text{C}_4\text{H}_{10}\text{NH}\)? Wait, no, \(\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\) is ethyl group, \(\text{C}_2\text{H}_5\), so two ethyl groups: \((\text{C}_2\text{H}_5)_2=\text{C}_4\text{H}_{10}\), then attached to NH, so the formula is \(\text{C}_4\text{H}_{11}\text{N}\)? Wait, no, \(\text{NH}\) is N and H, so \(\text{C}_4\text{H}_{10}\) (from two ethyls) + \(\text{NH}\) (N and H) gives \(\text{C}_4\text{H}_{11}\text{N}\). Wait, let's check:
- \(\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\) is \(\text{C}_2\text{H}_5\), so two of them: \(\text{C}_4\text{H}_{10}\), then add \(\text{NH}\) (N and H), so total H: 10 (from \(\text{C}_4\text{H}_{10}\)) + 1 (from NH) = 11? Wait, no, \(\text{NH}\) has 1 H? Wait, no, \(\text{NH}\) is N and H? Wait, no, the amine group: \(\text{NH}\) is -NH-, so the formula is \((\text{C}_2\text{H}_5)_2\text{NH}\), which is \(\text{C}_4\text{H}_{10}\text{NH}\)? Wait, no, \(\text{C}_2\text{H}_5\) is ethyl, so two ethyls: \(\text{C}_4\text{H}_{10}\), then the -NH- group: so the formula is \(\text{C}_4\text{H}_{11}\text{N}\)? Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Let's count again:
- \(\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\): C: 2, H: 3 (from CH3) + 2 (from CH2) = 5. So two of these: C: 2*2=4, H: 5*2=10. Then the NH part: N:1, H:1. So total H: 10 + 1 = 11? Wait, no, the NH is -NH-, so the formula is \(\text{C}_4\text{H}_{10}\text{NH}\)? Wait, no, the correct expansion is \(\text{C}_4\text{H}_{11}\text{N}\)? Wait, maybe I should write the formula as \(\text{C}_4\text{H}_{11}\text{N}\). Wait, let's check the molecular formula:
- \((\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2)_2\text{NH}\) = \(\text{C}_4\text{H}_{10}\text{NH}\)? No, \(\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\) is \(\text{C}_2\text{H}_5\), so two of them: \((\text{C}_2\text{H}_5)_2=\text{C}_4\text{H}_{10}\), then add \(\text{NH}\) (N and H), so the formula is \(\text{C}_4\text{H}_{11}\text{N}\). So:
- C: 4 atoms
- H: 11 atoms? Wait, no, \(\text{C}_2\text{H}_5\) is ethyl, so \((\text{C}_2\text{H}_5)_2\) is \(\text{C}_4\text{H}_{10}\), then the -NH- group: so the formula is \(\text{C}_4\text{H}_{10}\text{NH}\), which is \(\text{C}_4\text{H}_{11}\text{N}\). Yes, that's correct. So:
- C: 4
- H: 11
- N: 1

Wait, but let's confirm with the formula: \((\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2)_2\text{NH}\). Let's write it as \(\text{C}_4\text{H}_{10}\text{NH}\)? No, \(\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\) is \(\text{C}_2\text{H}_5\), so two of them: \(\text{C}_4\text{H}_{10}\), then the NH: so the formula is \(\text{C}_4\text{H}_{11}\text{N}\). So atoms:
- C: 4
- H: 11
- N: 1

Now, the molar masses of the elements:
- Molar mass of C: \(12.01\ \text{g/mol}\)
- Molar mass of H: \(1.008\ \text{g/mol}\)
- Molar mass of N: \(14.01\ \text{g/mol}\)

Step2: Calculate the molar mass

Now, we calculate the molar mass by multiplying the number of each atom by its molar mass and summing them up.

- Molar mass contribution from C: \(4\times12.01 = 48.04\ \text{g/mol}\)
- Molar mass contribution from H: \(11\times1.008 = 11.088\ \text{g/mol}\)
- Molar mass contribution from N: \(1\times14.01 = 14.01\ \text{g/mol}\)

Now, sum these contributions:

Total molar mass = \(48.04 + 11.088 + 14.01\)

First, add 48.04 and 11.088: \(48.04 + 11.088 = 59.128\)

Then add 14.01: \(59.128 + 14.01 = 73.138\)

Wait, but wait, maybe I made a mistake in the number of H atoms. Wait, let's re - examine the formula \((\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2)_2\text{NH}\). Let's expand it properly:

\((\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2)_2\text{NH}=\text{C}_2\text{H}_5-\text{C}_2\text{H}_5-\text{NH}\)? No, \((\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2)_2\) is \((\text{C}_2\text{H}_5)_2=\text{C}_4\text{H}_{10}\), and then the \(\text{NH}\) is attached, so the formula is \(\text{C}_4\text{H}_{10}\text{NH}\), which is \(\text{C}_4\text{H}_{11}\text{N}\). Wait, but maybe the correct number of H atoms is 11? Wait, no, let's check the formula again. \(\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\) is ethyl, so two ethyl groups: \(\text{C}_4\text{H}_{10}\), then the \(\text{NH}\) group: so the structure is \(\text{C}_4\text{H}_{10}-\text{NH}\), so the H atoms: in \(\text{C}_4\text{H}_{10}\), there are 10 H, and in \(\text{NH}\), there is 1 H, so total 11 H. So that part is correct.

Wait, but let's check with another approach. The formula is \((\text{C}_2\text{H}_5)_2\text{NH}\), which is diethylamine. The correct molecular formula is \(\text{C}_4\text{H}_{11}\text{N}\)? Wait, no, actually, diethylamine has the formula \((\text{C}_2\text{H}_5)_2\text{NH}\), which is \(\text{C}_4\text{H}_{11}\text{N}\)? Wait, no, let's count the H atoms again. \(\text{C}_2\text{H}_5\) is ethyl: C:2, H:5. Two ethyls: C:4, H:10. Then the \(\text{NH}\) group: N:1, H:1. So total H: 10 + 1 = 11. So that's correct.

Now, let's recalculate the molar mass:

- C: 4 atoms, molar mass contribution: \(4\times12.01 = 48.04\)
- H: 11 atoms, molar mass contribution: \(11\times1.008 = 11.088\)
- N: 1 atom, molar mass contribution: \(1\times14.01 = 14.01\)

Summing these: \(48.04+11.088 + 14.01=73.138\), which rounds to 73.14 g/mol.

Wait, but maybe I made a mistake in the number of H atoms. Let's check the formula again. \((\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2)_2\text{NH}\):

- \(\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\): C:2, H:3 (CH3) + 2 (CH2) = 5. So two of these: C:4, H:10. Then the NH: N:1, H:1. So total H: 10 + 1 = 11. So that's correct.

Alternatively, maybe the formula is \((\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2)_2\text{NH}\), which is \(\text{C}_4\text{H}_{11}\text{N}\). So the molar mass calculation is as above.

Answer:

\(73.14\)
