The molecular weight of Wedelolactone [C₁₆H₁₀O₇] is 314.247.

Wedelolactone [C₁₆H₁₀O₇] is an organic compound of three elements: Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen. The molecular weight of Wedelolactone [C₁₆H₁₀O₇] is 314.247 which can be calculated by adding up the total weight (atomic weight multiplied by their number) of Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen.

CALCULATION PROCEDURE: Wedelolactone  [C₁₆H₁₀O₇] Molecular Weight Calculation

Step 1: Find out the chemical formula and determine constituent atoms and their number in a Wedelolactone molecule.
You will know different atoms and their number in a Wedelolactone molecule from the chemical formula. The chemical formula of Wedelolactone is C₁₆H₁₀O₇. From the chemical formula, you can find that one molecule of Wedelolactone has sixteen Carbon (C) atoms, ten Hydrogen (H) atoms, and seven Oxygen (O) atoms.

Step 2: Find out the atomic weights of each atom (from the periodic table).

Atomic weight of Carbon (C): 12.0107 (Ref: Jlab-ele006)
Atomic weight of Hydrogen (H): 1.008 (Ref: Lanl-1)
Atomic weight of Oxygen (O): 15.9994 (Ref: Jlab-ele008)

Step 3: Calculate the total weight of each atom in a Wedelolactone molecule by multiplying its atomic weight by its number.

Number of Carbon atoms in Wedelolactone: 16
Atomic weight of Carbon: 12.0107
Total weight of Carbon atoms in Wedelolactone: 12.0107 x 16 = 192.1712

Number of Hydrogen atoms in Wedelolactone: 10
Atomic weight of Hydrogen: 1.008
Total weight of Hydrogen atoms in Wedelolactone: 1.008 x 10 = 10.08

Number of Oxygen atoms in Wedelolactone: 7
Atomic weight of Oxygen: 15.9994
Total weight of Oxygen atoms in Wedelolactone: 15.9994 x 7 = 111.9958

Step 4: Calculate the molecular weight of Wedelolactone by adding up the total weight of all atoms.

Molecular weight of Wedelolactone: 192.1712 (Carbon) + 10.08 (Hydrogen) + 111.9958 (Oxygen) = 314.247

So the molecular weight of Wedelolactone is 314.247.
