Lakshmi has a sample of ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) that has a mass of 40. 10 g. She knows that the molar mass of NH4NO3 is 80. 0432 g/mol. To the correct number of significant digits, how many moles of NH4NO3 does the sample contain? 0. 50 moles 0. 500979 moles 0. 500980 moles 0. 5010 moles.

Respuesta :

Moles are an estimation of the smallest unit of the molecules and the atoms in a sample. The moles of ammonium nitrate in a sample are 0.5010 moles.

What are moles?

Moles are calculated by dividing the mass of the substance in gm by that of the molar mass in gram per mole.  

Given.

Mass of ammonium nitrate = 40.10 gm

The molar mass of ammonium nitrate = 80. 0432 g/mol

Moles of ammonium nitrate are calculated as:

[tex]\begin{aligned}\rm moles &= \rm \dfrac{mass}{molar\; mass}\\\\&= \dfrac{40.10}{80.0432}\\\\&= 0.5010 \;\rm mol\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, moles of ammonium nitrate present is option d. 0.5010 moles.
