How do you determine the formula weight of #CaCNO_3#?

Answer 1

Are you sure you meant to write #"CaCNO"_3"#, and not #"Ca(NO"_3)_2"#? I have not been able to find any compound with this formula, including Pubchem.

To determine the formula weight of CaCNO₃, you add up the atomic weights of each element in the compound. The atomic weight of Ca is 40.08, C is 12.01, N is 14.01, and O is 16.00. Add these together: 40.08 (Ca) + 12.01 (C) + 14.01 (N) + 3(16.00) (3 oxygens in NO₃) = 108.09. So, the formula weight of CaCNO₃ is 108.09 g/mol.
