Open in App
Solution

  1. Molar mass is the sum of the masses of all the individual atoms present in a molecule or compound.
  2. The chemical formula of calcium phosphate is Ca3(PO4)2.
  3. The atomic mass of calcium Ca is 40 u.
  4. The atomic mass of phosphorous P is 31 u.
  5. Atomic mass of Oxygen O is 16 u.
  6. MolecularmassofcalciumphosphateCa3(PO4)2=(AtomicmassofcalciumCa)x3+(AtomicmassofphosphorousP)x2+(AtomicmassofOxygen)x8
  7. =(40x3)+(31x2)+(16x8)
  8. =310g

The molecular mass of calcium phosphate is Ca3(PO4)2 310g.
