Identity summary

Name Silver Nitrate
Other names (IUPAC) –
Molecular formula AgNO3
CAS number 7761-88-8
Molar mass 169.873 g/mol
PubChem CID 24470

Molar mass of AgNO3 and how to calculate it

The molar mass of AgNO3 is 169.87 g/mol, the sum of the relative atomic masses of all atoms in the formula: 107.870 + 14.007 + 3 × 15.999 = 169.87 g/mol.

Element Atoms Atomic mass Contribution Mass %
Ag 1 107.870 107.87 63.50%
N 1 14.007 14.01 8.25%
O 3 15.999 48.00 28.25%

So 1 mol of AgNO3 weighs 169.87 g, and 1 L of a 0.1 M solution needs 16.987 g of pure AgNO3. For liquid or concentrated reagents, work from assay and density with the dilution formula. Calculate other compounds with the molar mass calculator.
