Given :
A compound sodium trioxocarbonate (iv) decahydrate.
To Find :
The molecular mass of sodium trioxocarbonate (iv) decahydrate.
Solution :
We know, molecular formula of sodium trioxocarbonate (iv) decahydrate is :
Na₂CO₃.10H₂O
Now, we can calculate its molecular mass :
M = ( 2 × 23 ) + 12 + ( 3 × 16 ) + 10 × ( 1 × 2 + 16)
M = 46 + 12 + 48 + ( 10 × 18 )
M = 286 gram/mol
Hence, this is the required solution.
