  • Calculating Atoms in Al2(CO3)3: A Step-by-Step Guide
    Here's how to break down the calculation:

    * Al2(CO3)3: This is the chemical formula for aluminum carbonate.

    * Al: Represents one aluminum atom.

    * C: Represents one carbon atom.

    * O: Represents one oxygen atom.

    Breakdown:

    * Al2: There are 2 aluminum atoms.

    * (CO3)3: The parentheses mean the entire CO3 group appears 3 times.

    * C: There are 3 carbon atoms (1 carbon atom per CO3 group x 3 groups).

    * O: There are 9 oxygen atoms (3 oxygen atoms per CO3 group x 3 groups).

    Total:

    * 2 aluminum atoms + 3 carbon atoms + 9 oxygen atoms = 14 atoms

    Therefore, there are 14 atoms in one molecule of Al2(CO3)3.
