Ion-dipole forces
H2O has hydrogen bonding, which is a form of dipole-dipole forces, and NO3- is an ion, so the intermolecular attraction is ion-dipole.
The term hydrate would mean that the compound contains water molecules. When this compound is heated, the water molecules are lost first which means that what remains would be the dried compound. Therefore, the H2O lost from the hydrate would be 6.00g - 3.27g = 2.73 g.
Answer:
5.3 × 10⁻³ kg
Explanation:
There is some info missing. I think this is the original question.
<em>A chemist adds 135.0 mL of a 0.21 M zinc nitrate (Zn(NO₃)₂) solution to a reaction flask. Calculate the mass in kilograms of zinc nitrate the chemist has added to the flask. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.</em>

We have 135.0 mL of a 0.21 M zinc nitrate (Zn(NO₃)₂) solution. The moles of zinc nitrate are:
0.1350 L × 0.21 mol/L = 2.8 × 10⁻² mol
The molar mass of zinc nitrate is 189.36 g/mol. The mass corresponding to 2.8 × 10⁻² moles is:
2.8 × 10⁻² mol × 189.36 g/mol = 5.3 g
1 kilogram is equal to 1000 grams. Then,
5.3 g × (1 kg/1000 g) = 5.3 × 10⁻³ kg
