Using Dimensional AnalysisExplanation:

Step 1: Define

1.9 × 10²² molecules CaCO₃

Step 2: Identify Conversions

Avogadro's Number

[PT] Molar Mass of Ca - 40.08 g/mol

[PT] Molar Mass of C - 12.01 g/mol

[PT] Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of CaCO₃ - 40.08 + 12.01 + 3(16.00) = 100.09 g/mol

Step 3: Convert

Set up:                              Multiply/Divide:                                                                                                    

Step 4: Check

Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 2 sig figs.
