  • Calculating Atoms in CaMg(CO3)2: A Step-by-Step Guide
    Here's how to determine the number of atoms in the compound CaMg(CO3)2:

    1. Identify the elements and their subscripts:

    * Ca: Calcium - 1 atom

    * Mg: Magnesium - 1 atom

    * C: Carbon - 1 atom (multiplied by 2 from the subscript outside the parenthesis)

    * O: Oxygen - 3 atoms (multiplied by 2 from the subscript outside the parenthesis)

    2. Calculate the total number of atoms:

    * Calcium: 1 atom

    * Magnesium: 1 atom

    * Carbon: 1 atom x 2 = 2 atoms

    * Oxygen: 3 atoms x 2 = 6 atoms

    3. Add the number of atoms for each element:

    1 + 1 + 2 + 6 = 10 atoms

    Therefore, there are 10 atoms in one molecule of CaMg(CO3)2.
