Molar mass of Ag2CO3 is 275.748 g/mol.
Well, now you have come to know the molar mass of Ag2CO3.
But how can you get this value?
Let me show you the calculation to get the molar mass of Ag2CO3 (Silver carbonate).
If you are a visual learner like me, then here is a short one minute video for you.
Ag2CO3 (Silver carbonate) Molar Mass Calculation
If you have a periodic table with you, then you can easily calculate the molar mass of Ag2CO3 (Silver carbonate).
Because the molar mass of any molecule (or compound) can be calculated by simply adding the molar masses of individual atoms.
Now here we have to find the molar mass of Ag2CO3 (Silver carbonate).
So for that, have a look at the periodic table given below.
You can see the molar mass value of all the atoms from this periodic table.
Now in Ag2CO3, there are 2 Silver atoms, 1 Carbon atom and 3 Oxygen atoms.
So let’s look at the molar mass of Silver, Carbon and Oxygen from the above periodic table.
You can see that;
The molar mass of Silver is 107.87 g/mol. [1]
The molar mass of Carbon is 12.011 g/mol. [2]
The molar mass of Oxygen is 15.999 g/mol. [3]
Now, to calculate the molar mass of Ag2CO3, you just have to add the molar mass of all the individual atoms that are present in Ag2CO3.
You can see that in Ag2CO3, there are 2 Silver atoms, 1 Carbon atom and 3 Oxygen atoms.
So, Molar mass of Ag2CO3 = Molar mass of 2 Silver (Ag) atoms + Molar mass of 1 Carbon (C) atom + Molar mass of 3 Oxygen (O) atoms.
= (107.87) 2 + 12.011 + (15.999) 3
= 215.74 + 12.011 + 47.997
= 275.748 g/mol
Hence the Molar mass of Ag2CO3 is 275.748 g/mol.
I hope you have understood the short and simple calculation for finding the molar mass of Ag2CO3.
Remember
- In some books, you may see the unit of molar mass as grams/mole or g/mole. But all these units (i.e g/mol, grams/mole and g/mole) are the same.
- Always follow the calculation order to avoid any mistakes in calculation. First solve the brackets, then multiplications and at last do the final addition.
- And don’t forget to put the unit g/mol to your final calculated molar mass.
