What is the molar mass of magnesium carbonate, mgco3? 52.314 g/mol 84.313 g/mol 96.771 g/mol 102.588 g/mol

Molar mass of MgCO3 = 84.3 g/mol

Explanation:

What is the molar mass of magnesium carbonate.

Molar mass of a substance is defined as the mass of one mole of the substance expressed in grams hence its unit is gram per mole (g/mol)

MgCO3 is a compound and it's molar mass would be the sum of the molar masses of the elements that make up the compound. MgCO3 contains 1 atom of magnesium, one atom of carbon and 3 atoms of oxygen

Molar mass of Magnesium = 24.3g

Molar mass of Carbon =12g

Molar mass of Oxygen = 16g

Molar mass of MgCO3 will be

24.3 + 12 + 16×3

= 24.3 + 12 +48 = 84.3 g/mol

Molar mass of MgCO3 = 84.3 g/mol

explanation:

the largest database of organic compounds lists about 10 million substances, which include compounds originating from living organisms and those synthesized by chemists. the number of potential organic compounds has been estimated at 1060—an astronomically high number. the existence of so many organic molecules is a consequence of the ability of carbon atoms to form up to four strong bonds to other carbon atoms, resulting in chains and rings of many different sizes, shapes, and complexities. the simplest organic compounds contain only the elements carbon and hydrogen, and are called hydrocarbons. even though they are composed of only two types of atoms, there is a wide variety of hydrocarbons because they may consist of varying lengths of chains, branched chains, and rings of carbon atoms, or combinations of these structures. in addition, hydrocarbons may differ in the types of carbon-carbon bonds present in their molecules. many hydrocarbons are found in plants, animals, and their fossils; other hydrocarbons have been prepared in the laboratory. we use hydrocarbons every day, mainly as fuels, such as natural gas, acetylene, propane, butane, and the principal components of gasoline, diesel fuel, and heating oil. the familiar plastics polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene are also hydrocarbons. we can distinguish several types of hydrocarbons by differences in the bonding between carbon atoms. this leads to differences in geometries and in the hybridization of the carbon orbitals.
