The correct number of significant digits and moles of NH4NO is 0.500979 mol.

The molar mass is the mass of 1 mole of the substance.

Ammonium nitrate, (NH4NO3), a salt of ammonia and nitric acid, is used widely in fertilizers and explosives. The commercial-grade contains about 33.5 percent nitrogen, all of which is in forms utilizable by plants; it is the most common nitrogenous component of artificial fertilizers.

If the molar mass of nh4no3 is 80.0432 g/mol, that means there are 80.0432 g of substance in 1 mole. The question is how many moles is 40.10 g of substance.

80.0432 g : 1 mol = 40.10 g : x mol

By crossing the products:

Therefore:

x · 80.0432 g = 1 mol · 40.10 g

⇒ x = 40.10 ÷ 80.0432 mol

The correct number of significant digits and moles of NH4NO is 0.500979 mol.
