Tetraethyl lead abbreviated as TEL, is an organo lead compound with the formula (CH₃CH₂)₄Pb. It is a petro-fuel additive which in turn caused increased vehicle performance. This is also used as an antiknock agent in gasoline and jet fuels. Tetraethyl lead is absorbed rapidly by the skin, the lungs, and the gastrointestinal tract. It is converted to triethyl lead, which might be responsible for its toxicity.

The gram formula mass of a compound is nothing but the molar mass.

The molar mass of K2CO3 (Potassium Carbonate) is given by

Atomic weights of individual elements are

K (Potassium) = 39 g

C (Carbon) = 12 g

O (Oxygen) = 16 g

Hence, that of K2CO3 = 39(2) + 12 + 16(3)

= 78 + 12 + 48

= 138.
