Someone please help!!!!!

OpenStudy (cuanchi):

do you know how to calculate the molar mass of Al(NO3)3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no i dont

OpenStudy (cuanchi):

do you have a periodic table?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (cuanchi):

find the atomic mass of the Al, N and O, it is usually a number with several decimal places such as 25.456

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah okay i know that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do i do after that?

OpenStudy (cuanchi):

the formula Al(NO3)3 is telling you that you have one atom of Al, 3 of N and 9 of O. then multiply the atomic mass of N by 3 and the atomic mass of O by 9 and add all the values Al+ 3N +9 O =

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats all?

OpenStudy (cuanchi):

that is the first part, then that is the mass of one mole and you have to calculate the mass of 0.510 moles, so you have to multiply that value by 0.510. Remember finally express the value with 3 significant figures
