Define molecular mass. Calculate the molecular mass of calcium carbonate
and nitric acid.

HNO₃ =63.0147 g/mol

CaCO₃ = 100.088 g/mol

Explanation:

Molecular mass:

It is the sum of all the atomic masses of the atoms of elements present in a molecule.

For example:

The formula of CaCO₃:

Calcium carbonate consist of one atom of calcium, one atom of carbon and three atoms of oxygen. Thus, its molecular mass would be,

CaCO₃ = 40.078 × 1 + 12.01×1 + 16.00×3

CaCO₃ = 40.078 + 12.01+ 48

CaCO₃ = 100.088 g/mol

The formula of HNO₃:

Nitric acid consist of one atom of hydrogen, one atom of nitrogen and three atoms of oxygen. Thus, its molecular mass would be,

HNO₃ =1.008 × 1 + 14.0067 ×1 + 16.00×3

HNO₃ = 1.008 +14.0067 + 48

HNO₃ =63.0147 g/mol
