Frequently Asked Questions

What is the molar mass of Calcium sulfate?

The molar mass of Calcium sulfate (CaSO4) is 136.134 g/mol. That is the sum of the standard atomic weights of all 6 atoms in one formula unit: 4 × 15.999 + 1 × 40.078 + 1 × 32.060 = 136.134.

What is the molecular weight of Calcium sulfate?

136.134 — 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 136.13 and a molar mass of 136.13 g/mol are the same answer.

How many moles are in 100 g of Calcium sulfate?

100 ÷ 136.134 = 0.7346 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 sulfate?

By mass, Calcium sulfate is 47.01% oxygen, 29.44% calcium, 23.55% sulfur. Each element's share is its total mass in the formula divided by 136.134.

How many atoms are in one formula unit of Calcium sulfate?

6: 4 oxygen, 1 calcium, 1 sulfur. One mole contains 6.02214076 × 10²³ formula units, so a mole of Calcium sulfate contains 6 × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms in total.
