Answer:
2.64 M
Explanation:
To find the molarity, you need to (1) convert grams to moles (via molar mass), then (2) convert mL to L, and then (3) calculate the molarity (via molarity ratio). The final answer should have 3 sig figs to match the sigs figs of the given values.
(Step 1)
Molar Mass (NH₄NO₃): 2(14.007 g/mol) + 4(1.008 g/mol) + 3(15.998 g/mol)
Molar Mass (NH₄NO₃): 80.04 g/mol
66.5 grams NH₄NO₃ 1 mole
--------------------------------- x ---------------------- = 0.831 moles NH₄NO₃
80.04 grams
(Step 2)
1,000 mL = 1 L
315 mL 1 L
-------------- x ------------------ = 0.315 L
1,000 mL
(Step 3)
Molarity = moles / volume
Molarity = 0.831 moles / 0.315 L
Molarity = 2.64 M
The nitrite ion has one less oxygen than the nitrate ion. Nitrate is NO3-1 while the nitrite ion is NO2-.
The answer to this question would be true.
