Element | Total atoms | Atomic mass | Total mass |
---|---|---|---|
Mg (Magnesium) | 2 | 24.305 | 48.61 |
O (Oxygen) | 4 | 15.9994 | 63.9976 |
Si (Silicon) | 1 | 28.0855 | 28.0855 |

- Mr[Mg2SiO4] = Ar[Mg] * 2 + Ar[O] * 4 + Ar[Si] = 24.305 * 2 + 15.9994 * 4 + 28.0855 = 140.6931
- Molar mass (kg/mol) = Mr[Mg2SiO4] : 1000 = 140.6931 : 1000 = 0.14069 kg/mol
- Magnesium (Mg) = 48.61 : 140.6931 * 100 = 34.55 %
- Oxygen (O) = 63.9976 : 140.6931 * 100 = 45.487 %
- Silicon (Si) = 28.0855 : 140.6931 * 100 = 19.962 %
