What is the gram formula mass of K2CO3 ?

Correct Answer: 138

Explanation:

The gram formula mass of a compound is nothing but the molar mass.


The molar mass of K2CO3 (Potassium Carbonate) is given by


Atomic weights of individual elements are


 


K (Potassium) = 39 g


C (Carbon) = 12 g


O (Oxygen) = 16 g


 


Hence, that of K2CO3 = 39(2) + 12 + 16(3)


= 78 + 12 + 48


= 138.
