Moles are an estimation of the smallest unit of the molecules and the atoms in a sample. The moles of ammonium nitrate in a sample are 0.5010 moles.
Moles are calculated by dividing the mass of the substance in gm by that of the molar mass in gram per mole.
Given.
Mass of ammonium nitrate = 40.10 gm
The molar mass of ammonium nitrate = 80. 0432 g/mol
Moles of ammonium nitrate are calculated as:
[tex]\begin{aligned}\rm moles &= \rm \dfrac{mass}{molar\; mass}\\\\&= \dfrac{40.10}{80.0432}\\\\&= 0.5010 \;\rm mol\end{aligned}[/tex]
Therefore, moles of ammonium nitrate present is option d. 0.5010 moles.
