  • Calculating the Molar Mass of Lead(III) Phosphate (Pb3(PO4)2)
    The molar mass of lead(III) phosphate, Pb3(PO4)2, can be calculated by adding the molar masses of the individual atoms present in the compound.

    The molar mass of lead (Pb) is 207.2 g/mol, and there are three lead atoms in the compound, so the total contribution from lead is 3 * 207.2 g/mol = 621.6 g/mol.

    The molar mass of phosphorus (P) is 30.97 g/mol, and there are two phosphorus atoms in the compound, so the total contribution from phosphorus is 2 * 30.97 g/mol = 61.94 g/mol.

    The molar mass of oxygen (O) is 16.00 g/mol, and there are eight oxygen atoms in the compound, so the total contribution from oxygen is 8 * 16.00 g/mol = 128.00 g/mol.

    Adding these contributions together, we get the molar mass of lead(III) phosphate:

    Molar mass of Pb3(PO4)2 = 621.6 g/mol + 61.94 g/mol + 128.00 g/mol = 811.54 g/mol

    Therefore, the molar mass of lead(III) phosphate is 811.54 g/mol.
