1. Find the molar mass of HNO₃
* Hydrogen (H): 1.01 g/mol
* Nitrogen (N): 14.01 g/mol
* Oxygen (O): 16.00 g/mol (x3 since there are 3 oxygen atoms)
Molar mass of HNO₃ = 1.01 + 14.01 + (16.00 x 3) = 63.02 g/mol
2. Calculate the number of moles
* Moles = mass / molar mass
* Moles = 250 g / 63.02 g/mol
* Moles ≈ 3.97 mol
Therefore, there are approximately 3.97 moles of hydrogen nitrate molecules in 250g.
