mww · Answer

Write the formula

Ca3(PO4)2
Calculate the molar mass by adding the atomic masses of each component (found on periodic table). The formula tells you  that you have 3 Ca, and 2 PO4 ions, with each PO4 made up of 1 P and 4 O.

So add up these masses, and If you do it properly you should find the molar mass to be 310.17 g·mol−1.

do similar calculations for the others.
