STEP 1: To solve this question, we must first find the number of moles in a 13g solution of NaNO3 (molar mass = 85g/mol):
moles of NaNO3 = mass / molar mass
moles of NaNO3 = (13g) / (85g/mol)
STEP 2: The ratios of the compound are 3 moles of oxygen, 1 mole of sodium, and 1 mole of nitrogen. As such, for every 1 mole of NaNO3, there are 3 moles of oxygen, and the answer is:
moles of oxygen = (3) x (13/85)
Molar mass can be defined as 'mass per mole.' In other words, molar mass is the sum of the mass of all the atoms found in one mole's worth of a substance. It is expressed in units of grams per mole.
Molar mass is depicted for elements or molecules. In the case of single elements or individual atoms, the molar mass would just be the element's mass expressed in atomic mass units. In other words, the atomic mass and the molar mass of an individual atom are exactly equal.
When individual atoms are bonded to form a molecule, the molar mass represents the mass of all the atoms. Molar mass is different from molecular mass in that molecular mass is the mass of a given molecule, whereas molar mass is the mass of one mole of the given molecule.
