Calculate molar mass of HNO3 :

  • A.48 g/mol
  • B.63 g/mol
  • C.62 g/mol
  • D.49 g/mol

Answer: B

The molar mass of nitric acid, HNO3, is 63 g/mol.

Add the atomic masses of one hydrogen, one nitrogen and three oxygen atoms:

\[ \begin{aligned} M &= 1 + 14 + 3 \times 16 \\ &= 1 + 14 + 48 = 63\ \text{g/mol} \end{aligned} \]

48 g/mol is the mass of the three oxygen atoms alone. 62 g/mol is the nitrate ion, NO3-, without the hydrogen. 49 g/mol is the equivalent weight of sulphuric acid (98 divided by 2), a figure from a different calculation.
