Calcium phosphate, Ca₃(PO₄)₂, is used to treat calcium deficiencies. What is the molar mass of this compound?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To calculate the molar mass, we need to add up the atomic masses of all the elements present in the compound. Ca (calcium) has a molar mass of 40.08 g/mol P (phosphorus) has a molar mass of 30.97 g/mol O (oxygen) has a molar mass of 16.00 g/mol S (sulfur) has a molar mass of 32.06 g/mol Therefore, molar mass of Calcium phosphate, Ca₃(PO₄)₂ is: (1 x 40.08) + (1 x 30.97) + (16.00 x 15) + (32.06 x 14) = 310.18 g/mol Hence, the answer is E.
