If you mean hydrate as in MgSO4 · 7H2O, then simply find the molar mass of each element you see.

For the example above, that means you would add the molar mass (found on the periodic table) of Mg, then S, then 4(O), 14(H), and 7(O).

The results would be your molar mass for the hydrate.

I hope this is what you meant by your question!

What geopolitical process returns carbon to the atmosphere in the from of carbon dioxide

musickatia [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Recall that plants use water, atmospheric carbon dioxide, and energy from the sun to build their organic framework through photosynthesis. Therefore, plants draw down atmospheric carbon dioxide as part of their life habit. When plants die, the organic matter is oxidized and carbon dioxide is returned to the atmosphere.

What is the % composition of Carbon in Chromium (iii) Carbonate

photoshop1234 [79]

Step 1 - Discovering the ionic formula of Chromium (III) Carbonate

Chromium (III) Carbonate is formed by the ionic bonding between Chromium (III) (Cr(3+)) and Carbonate (CO3(2-)):

$Cr^{3+}+CO^{2-}_3\rightarrow Cr_2(CO_3)_3$

Step 2 - Finding the molar mass of the substance

To find the molar mass, we need to multiply the molar mass of each element by the number of times it appears in the formula of the substance and, finally, sum it all up.

The molar masses are 12 g/mol for C; 16 g/mol for O and 52 g/mol for Cr. We have thus:

$\begin{gathered} C\rightarrow3\times12=36 \\ \\ O\rightarrow9\times16=144 \\ \\ Cr\rightarrow2\times52=104 \end{gathered}$

The molar mass will be thus:

$M=36+104+144=284\text{ g/mol}$

Step 3 - Finding the percent composition of carbon

As we saw in the previous step, the molar mass of Cr2(CO3)3 is 284 g/mol. From this molar mass, 36 g/mol come from C. We can set the following proportion:

$\begin{gathered} 284\text{ g/mol ---- 100\%} \\ 36\text{ g/mol ----- x} \\ \\ x=\frac{36\times100}{284}=\frac{3600}{284}=12.7\text{ \%} \end{gathered}$

The percent composition of Carbon is thus 12.7 %.
