### Problem Statement**Question:**What are the formula weights of (a) CO₂ and CaCO₃?**Answer:**Use the editor to format your answer.### AnalysisTo calculate the formula weight (also known as molecular weight) of a compound, sum the atomic weights of all atoms in its chemical formula.1. **CO₂ (Carbon Dioxide):** - Carbon (C) = 12.01 g/mol - Oxygen (O) = 16.00 g/mol - Formula weight of CO₂ = 12.01 + 2(16.00) = 44.01 g/mol2. **CaCO₃ (Calcium Carbonate):** - Calcium (Ca) = 40.08 g/mol - Carbon (C) = 12.01 g/mol - Oxygen (O) = 16.00 g/mol - Formula weight of CaCO₃ = 40.08 + 12.01 + 3(16.00) = 100.09 g/mol### ConclusionThe formula weight of CO₂ is 44.01 g/mol, and the formula weight of CaCO₃ is 100.09 g/mol.
