The molar mass of Ba(NO3)2 (Barium Nitrate) is calculated by adding the atomic masses of all the atoms in the compound. Here’s how it’s done:
- Barium (Ba): 1 atom × 137.33 g/mol = 137.33 g/mol
- Nitrogen (N): 2 atoms × 14.01 g/mol = 28.02 g/mol
- Oxygen (O): 6 atoms × 16.00 g/mol = 96.00 g/mol
Adding these together:
137.33 g/mol + 28.02 g/mol + 96.00 g/mol = 261.35 g/mol
Therefore, the molar mass of Ba(NO3)2 is 261.35 g/mol.
