Ah, the age-old question of how much calcium is in Calcium Carbonate. I've got a good feeling about this one. Let's do some calculations and find the answer!

Okay, let's break this down. The molar mass of Calcium Carbonate is 100.087 g/mol, and the molar mass of Calcium is 40.078 g/mol. This should be a piece of cake!

I'm not sure, but I think the answer might be B) 1.8g. Can someone explain the calculation to me?

Hmm, let's see. The patient is taking 1 gm of Calcium Carbonate, and we need to find the amount of elemental calcium. Time to put on my thinking cap!

I agree with Jesus, because 1gm of Calcium Carbonate contains 0.4g of elemental calcium, so 3g in total.
