Answer:

5.36 grams the mass in grams of zinc nitrate the chemist has added to the flask.

Explanation:

[tex]Molarity=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of the solution (L)}}[/tex]

Moles of zinc nitrate = n

Volume of the solution = 135.0 mL = 0.1350 L

Molarity of the solution = 0.21 M

[tex]0.21 M=\frac{n}{0.1350 L}[/tex]

[tex]n=0.21M\times 0.1350 L=0.02835 mol[/tex]

Mass of 0.02835 moles of zinc nitrate:

0.02835 mol × 189 g/mol = 5.358 g ≈ 5.36 g

5.36 grams the mass in grams of zinc nitrate the chemist has added to the flask.
