Problem: Calculate the following quantities.Moles of Zn(NO3)2 in 151.50 g of this substance.

FREE Expert Solution

We’re being asked to calculate for the number of moles of Zn(NO3)2 in 151.50 g of this substance.


Recall that the mass of one mole of any element or compound is equal to its molar mass or molecular weight. 


This means that we need to do a mass to mole calculation. 


The flow of the solution will be like this: 


mass Zn(NO3)2 (molar mass Zn(NO3)2) → moles Zn(NO3)2
