Answer

$164.10$ amu.

Work Step by Step

1. Identify the chemical formula for calcium nitrate: Calcium: $Ca^{2+}$ Nitrate: $NO{_3}^-$ Calcium nitrate: $Ca_1(NO_3)_2$ 2. Calculate the molar mass: Molar mass ($Ca(NO_3)_2$): (Atomic mass Ca)* 1 + ( (Atomic mass N)* 1 + (Atomic mass O)* 3 ) 40.08 amu * 1 + ( 14.01 amu * 1 + 16.00 amu * 3 )*2 = 164.10 amu.
