Define relative formula mass (Mr) and calculate the relative formula mass of CaCO3. (Ar: Calcium= 40; Oxygen= 16; Carbon= 12)

The relative formula mass (Mr) of a compound is the sum of the relative atomic masses of the atoms in the numbers shown in the formula.

Relative formula mass (Mr) of CaCO3 = 40+12+(3x16)=100.
