Answer

0.0244 mole of $Ca(NO_3)_2$

Work Step by Step

1. Determine the molar mass of this compound ($Ca(NO_3)_2$), and setup the conversion factors: $Ca: 40.08g $ $N: 14.01g * 2= 28.02g $ $O: 16.00g * 3 * 2= 96.00g $ 40.08g + 28.02g + 96.00g = 164.10g $ \frac{1 \space mole \space (Ca(NO_3))}{ 164.10 \space g \space (Ca(NO_3))}$ and $ \frac{ 164.10 \space g \space (Ca(NO_3))}{1 \space mole \space (Ca(NO_3))}$ 2. Calculate the number of moles $(Ca(NO_3))$ $ 4.00g \times \frac{1 mole}{ 164.1g} = 0.0244 mole$
