We need two NO3- to cancel out Na2+: Ca(NO3)2.
The species is; Ca(NO3)2 ( NO3(-) is a polyatomic ion and is in parenthesis ) 7.5 grams Ca(NO3)2 (1 mole Ca(NO3)2/164.1 grams)(2 mole N/1 mole Ca(NO3)2)(6.022 X 10^23/1 mole N) = 5.5 X 10^22 atoms of nitrogen
The calcium ion is Ca2+ and the nitrate ion is NO3- and together they form Ca(NO3)2
Ca(NO3)2Number of atoms in the compound:Ca- 1N- 2O- 6Find the atomic masses of all atoms and add:Ca = 40.1N = 2 * 14.0 = 28.0O = 6 * 16.0 = 96.0___________________164.1 gEquation:# moles * added atomic mass = # gramsAnswer:4.2 moles * (164.1 g) = 689.22 grams of Ca(NO3)2
Calcium nitrate - Ca(NO3)2- contain Ca, N and O.
Ca(NO3)2 5.600 grams calcium nitrate ( 1mole Ca(NO3)2/164.1 grams)(2 moles NO3/1 mole Ca(NO3)2) = 6.825 X 10 -2 moles of nitrate ions -----------------------------------------------
Ca+2 + NO3-1 = Ca(NO3)2
You will make Calcium Dinitrate or Ca(NO3)2

According to the endless studying I have done in college involving chemistry, NO3 which is called nitrate has a negative charge of 1 or written as -1. If you need help remembering the charge, just think of nitric acid ( HNO3) where the Hydrogen has a positive 1 charge, which means the NO3 has to have a -1 charge.
The compound formed is calcium nitrate, Ca(NO3)2. Calcium forms a +2 ion and the nitrate polyatomic forms a -1 ion. In order to balance out the charges, you need two nitrate ions to bond with one calcium. This ratio is reflected in the formula, which places the nitrate in parentheses with the "2" subscript outside it, which means there are two of them.
From its chemical formula, Ca(NO3)2, you can tell that there are two nitrate ions for every calcium atom. Therefore the mole ratio of calcium to nitrate is 1:2. So one could say that the "nitrate content" of calcium nitrate is 2/3 or 66.7%.
The nitrate, NO3- ion is planar - each oxygen is identically charged. The central N atom carries a small positive charge. The symmetry means that there is no dipole as any bond dipoles cancel each other out.
