I presume you mean 'Fe(NO3)3'. Note the use of brackets to indicate the number of nitrate anions. Otherwise the 'stand alone' suffix '3' is meaningless. Or wrongly confused as '33' oxygen atoms'.

Note the use of Roman Numerals to indicate the oxidation state of iron.

Fe(NO3)3 is Iron(III)nitrate or Ferric Nitrate.

Molar Mass

Fe x 1 = 56 x 1 = 56

N x 3 = 14 x 3 = 42

O x 3 x 3 = 16 x 9 = 144

56 + 42 + 144 = 242 (The molar mass).

NB The 'N x 3' comes from the three nitrogen atoms, one each in the THREE nitrate anions.

Similarly The 'O x 3 x 3 comes from three oxygen atoms, in each nitrate anion. There being three nitrate anions, means that there 3 x 3 = 9 oxygen atoms in the molecule.

NNB Careful with the nomenclature. If there are only TWO nitrate anions present in the molecule , then the formula is 'Fe(NO3)2, and the name(s) are Iron(II)Nitrate or Ferrous Nitrate.

NNNB 'Fe' is the chemical symbol for Iron. It comes from the Latin for Iron, which is 'Ferrum (Fe)'.

What is the molar mass of M on the periodic table?

The atomic mass of an element is listed on the periodic table, generally below the name of the element. The molar mass of a molecule will be generally be the sum of the atomic masses of the elements that make up the molecule.

Molar Mass: ~137.33 g/molhttp://www.wisegorilla.com/images/chemstry/0-Periodic%20table.gifPeriodic Tables usually come with molar mass, atomic number, symbol, and element name. They're quite helpful.


Is it necessary to know the formula of a compound in order to calculate its percent composition?

YES.For one to know the percentage composition,the amount of moles of the reacting element must be considered using the compound. •Well you dont really have to know just the formula. You can eaither use the formula if its given or the molar mass if its given. i just recently did a test where i was given either the Molar mass or Formula name and i had to figure out the percent composition. so it depends on the info given.

What is the formula for a hydrate?

CALCULATING MASS OF WATER LOST IN HYDRATETo calculate how much water was lost after a hydrate's been heated, subtract the mass of the anhydrate (after) from the mass of the hydrate (before).Mass Hydrate - Mass Anhydrate = Mass Water LostEXPERIMENTAL VALUE PERCENT WATER IN HYDRATETo calculate the experimental percent of water in a hydrate (using values gathered during the experiment), calculate how much water was lost (see "CALCULATING MASS OF WATER LOST" above). Do this by dividing the mass of the water lost (g) by the mass of the hydrate. Multiply the result by 100%.mass water lost- mass hydrate x 100%THEORETICAL VALUE PERCENT WATER IN HYDRATETo calculate the theoretical percent of water in a hydrate (using molar masses of substances rather than actual masses from experimental data), divide the molar mass of the water molecules by the molar mass of the hydrate; multiply the result by 100%.- Molar mass waterMolar mass hydrate x 100%Finding Molar Mass# atoms element A * atomic mass element A = Mass A# atoms element B * atomic mass element B = Mass B... etc.Add up all the mass values and you have the molar mass. Do this for both the anhydrate and water. For water's molar mass, you can also multiply 18.02 by the number of water molecules there are. This is a useful number to remember in order to save time test day and while doing homework practice problems too.To find the molar mass of the hydrate, add the molar mass values for water and the anhydrate.Molar Mass Water Molecules + Molar Mass Anhydrate = Molar Mass HydratePERCENT ERROR WATER IN HYDRATEIn order to determine the percent error of the water in a hydrate, subtract the experimental value (what you determined using values found via experimentation) from the theoretical value (what is determined using molar masses), then divide value by the theoretical value; multiply result by 100%.Theoretical Value - Experimental Value x 100%----------- Theoretical ValueEMPIRICAL FORMULA OF HYDRATES(looking for quantity of water molecules)In order to find how many water molecules there are within a hydration (finding the empirical formula for hydrate), follow the steps below according to what is given.1. Calculate percent water in substance.Divide the mass of water by the mass of the hydrate (before heating).- mass water*mass hydrate* see "CALCULATING MASS OF WATER LOST IN HYDRATE" above. Sometimes this number is already given. If it is, then proceed to the next step.2. Convert Mass to Moles.Divide the mass of substance by its molar mass.--------- Mass substance (g)Molar mass substance (g/mol) = molConversion Factormass substance (g) x 1 mol substance----------------- atomic mass substance (g) = mol substanceDo this for both the anhydrate and water.3. Find Mole Ratio; Multiply the number of moles until they are a whole number.Find the mole ratio by dividing the number of moles for each substance by the smallest number of moles within the compound.------- # mol anhydratesmallest # moles compound--------- # mol watersmallest # moles compoundAND/OR-- mol H2Omol hydrate = mol H2O per mol anhydrateMultiply or are within

What is the percent by mass of carbon in C3H8?

Well, isn't that just a happy little question! To find the percent by mass of carbon in C3H8, you first need to calculate the molar mass of carbon in C3H8, which is 3 times the molar mass of carbon. Then, you divide the molar mass of carbon by the molar mass of C3H8 and multiply by 100 to get the percent by mass. Just remember, there are no mistakes in chemistry, only happy accidents!

What is the molarity of a solution containing 56 grams of solute in 959mL of solution?

Calculating molarity of this solution requires the variables of solute mass (in kilograms), molecular weight of the solute (in kilograms per mole), and solution volume to be known (in liters). In this example we only have the variables of a mass of .056 kilograms and volume of .959 liters.
