Answer:
236 g/mol
Explanation:
This question is asking to calculate the molar mass/formula mass of calcium nitrate tetrahydrate with the chemical formula: Ca(NO3)2 · 4H20. This is done as follows:
Atomic mass of the constituent elements are as follows:
Ca = 40
N = 14
O = 16
H = 1
Hence, in Ca(NO3)2 · 4H20.
= 40 + {14 + 16(3)}2 + 4 {1(2) + 16}
= 40 + {14 + 48}2 + 4{2 + 16}
= 40 + {62}2 + 4{18}
= 40 + 124 + 72
= 236
Hence, the molar mass of Ca(NO3)2 · 4H20 is 236g/mol.
