To calculate the molar mass of Calcium Carbonate  CaCO , we need to find the molar mass of each element present in the compound and then add them together.Calcium  Ca : 1 atom  40.08 g/mol  molar mass of Ca  = 40.08 g/molCarbon  C : 1 atom  12.01 g/mol  molar mass of C  = 12.01 g/molOxygen  O : 3 atoms  16.00 g/mol  molar mass of O  = 48.00 g/molNow, add the molar masses of each element together:Molar mass of CaCO = 40.08 g/mol  Ca  + 12.01 g/mol  C  + 48.00 g/mol  O  = 100.09 g/molSo, the molar mass of Calcium Carbonate  CaCO  is 100.09 g/mol.
