"Of chromic sulfite................?"Of chromic sulfite................?

Explanation:

We add the atomic masses of the the given constituents......of Cr_2(SO_3)_3Cr2(SO3)3:

=[2xx52.00(Cr)+3xx32.06(S)+9xx16.00(O)]*g*mol^-1=[2×52.00(Cr)+3×32.06(S)+9×16.00(O)]gmol1

=344.18*g*mol^-1=344.18gmol1.

All I have done is to take the atomic masses from the Periodic Table, and added them together appropriately. You are not expected to remember any of the atomic masses (tho' a few will stick).

What is the molar mass of Cr_2(SO_4)_3*18H_2OCr2(SO4)318H2O?
