How many grams are in 2x10^24 formula Units of CaCO3

332g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Formula units  = 2 x 10²⁴

Unknown:

Mass of the compound = ?

Solution:

The formula of the compound is:

            CaCO₃

      6.02 x 10²³ atoms are contained in 1 mole of a compound

       2 x 10²⁴ atoms will be made up of   = 3.32mole of CaCO₃

 Mass of CaCO₃  = number of moles x molar mass

      Molar mass of CaCO₃  = 40 + 12 + 3(16) = 100g/mol

 Mass of CaCO₃  = 3.32 x 100  = 332g
