Lead(II) nitrate is an ionic compound made up of one Pb\u00b2\u207a ion and two NO\u2083\u207b ions. When dissolved or analyzed chemically, each mole of lead(II) nitrate yields two moles of nitrate ions. This means we multiply the moles of the compound by two to get the moles of nitrate. Converting grams to moles is done by dividing the given mass by the molar mass. This is a basic and essential skill in chemistry for quantifying ions or molecules in a sample.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>7.04 g of lead (II) nitrate Pb(NO3)2 has how many moles of the nitrate ion?
