Select the correct answer.

What is the mass of 1.72 moles of sodium nitrate? Use the periodic table and the polyatomic ion resource.

A.
85.0 g
B.
91.2 g
C.
146 g
D.
273 g

Respuesta :

Answer: C.   146 g

Explanation:

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

[tex]\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{ mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}[/tex]  

Thus  [tex]Mass=\text{Number of moles}\times {\text{Molar mass}}[/tex]  

For sodium nitrate [tex](NaNO_3)[/tex]

moles = 1.72

Molar mass of sodium nitrate  [tex](NaNO_3)[/tex]= 85g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

[tex]Mass=1.72moles\times 85g/mol=146g[/tex]  

Answer:

146
