Answer:

First check to make sure you have a balanced equation

Second use mole ratios to set up what you need to know

Finally convert the moles to grams using the correct molecular weight

I will get you started

According to the reaction above, one mole of Magnesium Nitrate is produced from 2 moles of Nitric Acid

1 mole of Mg(NO3)2/2 moles of HNO3

5 grams of Nitric acid contains

5 g * 1 mole/63 g of Nitric Acid = 0.079365079 moles
