How many grams are in 4.5 x 10^22 molecules of Ba(NO2)2

17 g Ba(NO₂)₂

General Formulas and Concepts:

Chemistry

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

4.5 × 10²² molecules Ba(NO₂)₂

Step 2: Define conversion

Molar Mass of Ba - 137.33 g/mol

Molar Mass of N - 14.01 g/mol

Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of Ba(NO₂)₂ - 137.33 + 2(14.01) + 4(16.00) = 229.35 g/mol

Step 3: Dimensional Analysis

= 17.1384 g Ba(NO₂)₂

Step 4: Check

We are given 2 sig figs. Follow sig fig rules.

17.1384 g Ba(NO₂)₂ ≈ 17 g Ba(NO₂)₂
