| Nitrogen (N) | 1 | 14.007 | 14.007 | 16.48% |
| Oxygen (O) | 3 | 15.999 | 47.997 | 56.47% |
| Total | 84.994 | 100% |
= 0.11766 mol = 7.0854 × 1022 formula units
NaNO₃ molar mass FAQ
What is the molar mass of sodium nitrate (NaNO₃)?
84.994 g/mol. It is the sum of the atomic masses of every atom in the formula: 1 × 22.99 + 1 × 14.007 + 3 × 15.999 = 84.994 g/mol.
How many grams are in one mole of NaNO₃?
84.994 g. Molar mass is the mass of one mole (6.022 × 10²³ formula units), so 1 mol of NaNO₃ weighs 84.994 g and 0.5 mol weighs 42.497 g.
How many moles are in 10 g of NaNO₃?
10 g ÷ 84.994 g/mol = 0.1177 mol.
What is the percent composition of NaNO₃?
Sodium 27.05%, Nitrogen 16.48%, Oxygen 56.47%.
Is molecular weight the same as molar mass for NaNO₃?
Numerically yes: the molecular (or formula) weight is 84.994 u per formula unit, and the molar mass is 84.994 g/mol.
