Frequently Asked Questions
What is the molar mass of Calcium phosphate?
The molar mass of Calcium phosphate (Ca3(PO4)2) is 310.174 g/mol. That is the sum of the standard atomic weights of all 13 atoms in one formula unit: 8 × 15.999 + 3 × 40.078 + 2 × 30.974 = 310.174.
What is the molecular weight of Calcium phosphate?
310.174 — the same number as the molar mass, but as a dimensionless ratio rather than in g/mol. The two terms describe the same arithmetic, so a molecular weight of 310.17 and a molar mass of 310.17 g/mol are the same answer.
How many moles are in 100 g of Calcium phosphate?
100 ÷ 310.174 = 0.3224 mol. To convert any mass to moles, divide by the molar mass; to go the other way, multiply.
What is the percent composition of Calcium phosphate?
By mass, Calcium phosphate is 41.26% oxygen, 38.76% calcium, 19.97% phosphorus. Each element's share is its total mass in the formula divided by 310.174.
How many atoms are in one formula unit of Calcium phosphate?
13: 8 oxygen, 3 calcium, 2 phosphorus. One mole contains 6.02214076 × 10²³ formula units, so a mole of Calcium phosphate contains 13 × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms in total.
