Frequently Asked Questions
What is the molar mass of Sodium carbonate decahydrate?
The molar mass of Sodium carbonate decahydrate (Na2CO3·10H2O) is 286.138 g/mol. That is the sum of the standard atomic weights of all 36 atoms in one formula unit: 13 × 15.999 + 2 × 22.990 + 20 × 1.008 + 1 × 12.011 = 286.138.
What is the molecular weight of Sodium carbonate decahydrate?
286.138 — 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 286.14 and a molar mass of 286.14 g/mol are the same answer.
How many moles are in 100 g of Sodium carbonate decahydrate?
100 ÷ 286.138 = 0.3495 mol. To convert any mass to moles, divide by the molar mass; to go the other way, multiply.
What is the percent composition of Sodium carbonate decahydrate?
By mass, Sodium carbonate decahydrate is 72.69% oxygen, 16.07% sodium, 7.05% hydrogen, 4.20% carbon. Each element's share is its total mass in the formula divided by 286.138.
How many atoms are in one formula unit of Sodium carbonate decahydrate?
36: 13 oxygen, 2 sodium, 20 hydrogen, 1 carbon. One mole contains 6.02214076 × 10²³ formula units, so a mole of Sodium carbonate decahydrate contains 36 × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms in total.
