Question

Calculate the number of moles contained in 2.25 g of Mg(NO₃)₂ [Mg=24; N=14; O=16]
Options
A 0.0152
Correct Answer
B 148.3
C 0.0261
D 65.8
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Molar mass Mg(NO₃)₂ = 24 + 2×(14+48) = 24 + 124 = 148 g/mol. Moles = 2.25/148 = 0.0152 mol.

Hint

Moles = mass / molar mass.
