Solve first for the number of moles of sodium given that the mass is 2500 g by dividing the given mass by the molar mass of sodium. moles sodium = 2500 g / 23 g/mol moles sodium = 108.7 moles Since in every mole of NaCl, there is only one mole of sodium then, we conclude that there are also 108.7 moles of NaCl. Multiplying the number of moles to the molar mass of sodium chloride (58.44), the answer would be 6,352.17 grams.
Sodium (NA) the sodium atom is donating its 1 valence electron to the chlorine atom. This creates a sodium cation and a chlorine anion. Notice that the net charge of the resulting compound is 0.
