"546.1 g/mol"

Explanation:

The tin(II) phosphate formula is "Sn"_3("PO"_4)_2. Here the tin ion is 2+ and the phosphate ion is 3-.

There are 3 atoms of tin, 2 atoms of phosphorus and 8 atoms of oxygen. Multiply the number of atoms by the atomic mass of that atom. Then add them. Units will be grams per mole.

3 * 118.7 + 2 * 31.0 + 8* 16 = 356.1+62.0+128

= "546.1 g/mol"
