What Is The Molar Mass Of Silver Carbonate?
Silver carbonate (Ag2CO3) is a chemical compound composed of two silver atoms, one carbon atom, and three oxygen atoms.
To calculate the molar mass of silver carbonate, we need to add up the atomic masses of its constituent elements:
- The atomic mass of silver (Ag) is 107.87 g/mol (rounded to two decimal places)
- The atomic mass of carbon (C) is 12.01 g/mol
- The atomic mass of oxygen (O) is 16.00 g/mol
So, the molar mass of silver carbonate can be calculated as:
(2 x Ag) + C + (3 x O)
= (2 x 107.87 g/mol) + 12.01 g/mol + (3 x 16.00 g/mol)
= 275.75 g/mol (rounded to two decimal places)
Therefore, the molar mass of silver carbonate is 275.75 grams per mole (g/mol).
