Answer

(a) $287.91\text{ g/mol}$ (b) $231.53\text{ g/mol}$ (c) $209.94\text{ g/mol}$ (d) $537.49\text{ g/mol}$ (e) $222.84\text{ g/mol}$

Work Step by Step

(a) $CaWO_{4}$ (scheelite, an ore of tungsten)$ = 40.078+183.84+4(15.999)\approx 287.91\text{ g/mol}$ (b) $Fe_{3}O_{4}$ (magnetite) $= 3(55.845)+4(15.999) \approx 231.53\text{ g/mol}$ (c) $Na_{3}AlF_{6}$ (cryolite) $= 3(22.989)+26.982+6(18.998)\approx 209.94\text{ g/mol}$ (d) $Be_{3}Al_{2}Si_{6}O_{18}$ (beryl) $=3(9.0122)+2(26.982)+6(28.085)+18(15.999)\approx 537.49\text{ g/mol}$ (e) $Zn_{2}SiO_{4}$ (willemite)$ =2(65.38)+28.085+4(15.999)\approx 222.84\text{ g/mol}$
