10000 g BaNO₃

General Formulas and Concepts:

Chemistry - Atomic Structure

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

3.02 × 10²⁵ formulas units BaNO₃

Step 2: Identify Conversions

Avogadro's Number

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 BaNO₃ - 137.33 + 14.01 + 3(16.00) = 199.34 g/mol

Step 3: Convert

= 9996.79 g BaNO₃

Step 4: Check

We are given 3 sig figs. Follow sig fig rules and round.

9996.79 g BaNO₃ ≈ 10000 g BaNO₃

the answer would be c
