Question

Calculate the molecular mass of MgCO₃.

Open in App

Solution

The molecular mass of the MgCO₃ can be calculated as:
Atomic mass of Magnesium = 24.3 a.m.u (a.m.u = atomic mass unit)
Atomic mass of Carbon = 12 a.m.u
Atomic mass of Oxygen = 16 a.m.u
We have one magnesium atom, one carbon atom, and three oxygen atom.
So, the total mass = 24.3 + 12 + (3 X 16)
= 84.3 a.m.u
The molecular mass of MgCO₃ is 84.3 a.m.u.
