Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To calculate the molar mass of nitroglycerin, we need to add up the atomic mass of each element in the formula.

C₃H₅(NO₃)₃ = (3 x atomic mass of carbon) + (5 x atomic mass of hydrogen) + (3 x atomic mass of nitrogen) + (9 x atomic mass of oxygen)

= (3 x 12.01) + (5 x 1.01) + (3 x 14.01) + (9 x 16.00)

= 227 g/mole

Therefore, the correct answer is B.

Nitroglycerin Has a Formula C₃H₅(NO₃)₃
