Answer 1

The number of moles in Cesium Nitrate, CsNO3 is 2.2112 moles

Step-by-step explanation:

Moles of a substance n, is given by the mass, m of the substance divided by the molar mass, mm of the substance.

`{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}`

Molar mass of
`CsNO_(3)` = a(Cs) + a(N) + a(O3)

where a is the atomic mass;

a(Cs)=132.91 a(N)=14 a(O)=16

Therefore, Mm(CsNO3) = [132.91] + [14] + [16*3]

Mm(CsNO3) = 132.91+14+48

Mm(CsNO3) = 194.91

`{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}`

`{Number of moles}=(431)/(194.91)`

Number of moles = 2.2112moles

Hence, the number of moles in 431g of Cesium Nitrate is 2.2112moles

Answer 2

Answer: n = 2.21 moles CsNO3

Explanation: To solve for the moles of CsNO3 we will convert the mass of CsNO3 to moles by dividing it to its molar mass.

431 g CsNO3 x 1 mole CsNO3 / 195 g CsNO3

= 2.21 moles CsNO3
