What does the phrase わかるかンなもん mean? Is the katakana 'n' for emphasis? What
does the 'mon' in the sentence imply, tone-wise or otherwise? I know the verb
is from 'wakaru' to understand, but I don't know what the rest means.

Edit: The phrase is written exactly like that, with 'n' in katakana only. Does
わかるか **そんな** もん make sense then? If 'ンな' is short for 'そんな'?

What does わかるかンなもん mean?
[ンな](https://jisho.org/word/%E3%82%93%E3%81%AA) is a corrupted version of そんな.
It sounds a little offensive and is typically used when the speaker is
irritated. Ordinary Japanese words don't start with ん, but this is one of the
rare exceptions that happen only in slangy Japanese. ン is typically written in
katakana, especially in the middle of a sentence (otherwise this would be hard
to parse).

  * ンなやつ = そんなやつ = such a guy
  * ンなこと = そんなこと = such a thing
  * ンな場合 = そんな場合 = such a case/situation
  * and so on

And もん is simply a corrupted version of もの. So わかるかンなもん is the same as
そんなもの(が)わかるか, or "No way I know/understand such a thing!", referring to
whatever mentioned in the previous context.
