    The name of this compound is:

    Bi2 (CO3) 3 = Bismuth Carbonate

    Explanation:

    The name of the compound is derived from the name of the elements present in it.

    The rule followed while naming the compound are:

    1. The first element (always the cation) is named as such.

    2. The second element (The anion) end with "-ate, - ide," etc

    3. NO prefix is added while naming the first element.

    For example : Bi2 can't be named as Dibismuth

    Na2 = Can't be named as disodium

    Hence the compound:

    Bi2 (CO3) 3 contain two element : Bi and CO3. Here, Bi = cation (named as such) and CO3 = anion (named according to rules)

    Bi = Bismuth

    CO3 = carbonate

    Bi2 (CO3) 3 = Bismuth Carbonate

    The molecular mass of this compound is:

    Molecular mass = 2 (mass of Bi) + 3 (mass of C) + 6 (mass of O)

    = 2 (208.98) + 3 (12.01) + 6 (15.99)

    = 597.987 u
