An occluded front forms when a warm air mass is caught between two cooler air masses.
First there is a need to calculate the molar mass of Ba(NO₃)₂:
137.3 + 2 (14.0) + 6 (16) = 261.3 grams/mole
The molar mass, denoted by M in chemistry refers to a physical characteristic illustrated as the mass of a given component divided by the amount of the component. The molar masses are always denoted in grams/mole.
After finding the molar mass, the number of moles can be identified as:
432 grams / 261.3 g/mol = 1.65 moles of Ba(NO₃)₂.
ANSWERS:
Group 2 metal carbonates, nitrates and hydroxides decompose to heat to give the corresponding metal oxide and release CO2, NO2 and O2, and H2O respectively. The thermal stability increases down the group as theionic character of the compounds increases down the group.
