Answer:

C) 107 g

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Calculate the molar mass of Ca(NO₃)₂

We can calculate the molar mass of Ca(NO₃)₂ by adding the masses of its elements.

M = 1 × Ca + 2 × N + 2 × 3 × O

M = 1 × 40.08 g/mol + 2 × 14.01 g/mol + 6 × 16.00 g/mol

M = 164.10 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate the mass corresponding to 0.650 moles of Ca(NO₃)₂

We multiply the number of moles by the molar mass.

0.650 mol × 164.10 g/mol = 107 g
