The correct answer is 164.1.

  • The molar mass of calcium nitrate Ca(NO3)2 is 164.1

The molar mass of calcium nitrate Ca(NO3)2 can be calculated as follows:

  • It contains one atom of calcium, two atoms of nitrogen, and six atoms of oxygen.
The molecular weight can be calculated as:
  • Ca: 1 x 40.1 = 40.1
  • N: 2 x 14.0 = 28
  • O: 6 x 16.0 = 96
  • Adding above values i.e, 40.1 + 14 + 16 = 164.1
  • Hence, the molar mass of Ca(NO3)2 is 164.1 g/mol.
