Step 1: Analyse atomic weights of elements in Calcium

Phosphate ( Ca3 (PO4)2)
The atomic mass of Calcium (Ca) = 40. 7u
So, for three Ca atoms, atomic mass = 3 × 40. 7 = 120. 21u
The atomic mass of Phosphorus (P) = 30. 9u
So, for two P atoms, atomic mass = 2 × 30. 9 = 61. 8u
The atomic mass of Oxygen (O) = 16u
So, for eight O atoms, atomic mass = 8 × 16 = 128u
Step 2: Analyse formula unit mass
Formula unit mass for Ca3 (PO4)2 is:
Ca3 (PO4)2 = (3 × Atomic mass of Ca) + (2 × Atomic mass of P) + (8 × Atomic
mass of O)
= 120. 21 + 61. 8 + 128
= 309. 9u ≅310u

Hence, the formula unit mass for Ca3 (PO4)2 is 310u.
