Determine the molarity formula: Molarity (M) = moles of solute / liters of solution.
Convert the volume of the solution from milliliters to liters: 500.0 mL = 0.500 L.
Use the molarity formula to find the moles of calcium nitrate needed: moles = Molarity (M) × Volume (L).
Calculate the molar mass of calcium nitrate, Ca(NO3)2. Add the atomic masses of all atoms: Ca = 40.08 g/mol, N = 14.01 g/mol, O = 16.00 g/mol. Molar mass = 40.08 + 2(14.01 + 3(16.00)).
Convert moles of calcium nitrate to grams using its molar mass: grams = moles × molar mass.
