Question

How many moles are there in 24.00 g of NaCl

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is 0.41 moles

Explanation:

Data

moles of NaCl = ?

mass of NaCl = 24 g

Process

To solve this problem just calculate the molar mass of NaCl, and remember that the molar mass of any substance equals to 1 mol.

1.- Calculate the molar mass

NaCl = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5 g

2.- Use proportions and cross multiplication

               58.5 g of NaCl ------------------- 1 mol

               24.0 g               ------------------- x

                     x = (24 x 1) / 58.5

                     x = 0.41 moles
