50 POINTS


Sagot :

Zinc nitrate has 1 molecule of zinc (Zn), 2 molecules of nitrogen (N) and 6 molecules of oxygen (O).

Calculate the molecular mass of zinc nitrate by adding the molecular weights for all molecules in the compound.

Here are the molecular weights for each element:

Zn=65.38 g/mol

N=14.01 g/mol

O=16.00 g/mol

The molecular weight of zinc nitrate is then: 1*(65.38)+2*(14.01)+6*(16.00)=189.40 g/mol.

Using a conversion formula to calculate moles of zinc nitrate:

163.97gZn(NO
