How can you determine the chemical formula for calcium dinitrate?
Can you explain how the formula was determined?
Certainly. The formula for calcium dinitrate is determined by using the chemical symbols for calcium (Ca) and nitrate (NO3). Since there are two nitrate ions in the compound, we add the subscript 2 after the NO3 symbol to indicate this. So the final formula is Ca(NO3)2.
