What is the molar mass of magnesium carbonate, MgCO3? 52.314 g/mol 84.313 g/mol 96.771 g/mol 102.588 g/mol
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Molar mass of MgCO3 = 84.3 g/mol

Explanation:

What is the molar mass of magnesium carbonate.

Molar mass of a substance is defined as the mass of one mole of the substance expressed in grams hence its unit is gram per mole (g/mol)

MgCO3 is a compound and it's molar mass would be the sum of the molar masses of the elements that make up the compound. MgCO3 contains 1 atom of magnesium, one atom of carbon and 3 atoms of oxygen

Molar mass of Magnesium = 24.3g

Molar mass of Carbon =12g

Molar mass of Oxygen = 16g

Molar mass of MgCO3 will be

24.3 + 12 + 16×3

= 24.3 + 12 +48 = 84.3 g/mol

Molar mass of MgCO3 = 84.3 g/mol

The world's record in the 100 m dash is 9.69 seconds and in the 100 yard dash is 9.21 seconds.
Andrews [41]
Speed is equivalent to the distance traveled divided by the time it takes to travel that certain distance. 
To solve this problem convert the units first from meter and yards to miles. 100 metes is 0.0621371mi and 100 yards is 0.0568182 yard. 9.69s = 0.002691667 hr and 9.21s = 0.002558333

A.) 23mi/hr
B.) 22.20mi/hr

Place the following in correct sequence from simplest to most complex: 1. molecules 2. atoms 3. tissues 4. cells 5. organs
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Simplest to complex

Atoms, molecules, cells, tissues, organs

Explanation:

An atom is the smallest or basic unit of any substance or thing. therefore, it is simplest among given.

Two or more atoms joined together to form molecules. Therefore, molecules are complex than atoms.

Cell is the basic unit of life and a cell is made of many molecules and compounds. So, cells are more complex than molecules.

Several cells organised in a definite way to form tissue, so tissues are group of cells and perform a definite function inside a living thing. So, tissues are more complex than cell.

Organs consist of several cells and tissues and perform a specific functions. Therefore, organs are the most complex structure among given.

Therefore order from simplest to complex is as follows:

Atoms, molecules, cells, tissues, organs
