Answer:
.0924 moles of NaCl
Explanation:
So you know you have 5.4 g of NaCl and you need to know how many moles there are in this amount of NaCl
- You'll need to find the atomic mass of the compound NaCl to help you solve for moles
- Sodium (Na) on the periodic table has a mass of 22.99
- Chlorine (Cl) on the periodic table has a mass of 35.45
Add these two together----> 22.99 + 35.45 = 58.44
Now you can calculate for moles
<u>Written-out method:</u>
<u>5.4 grams of NaCl | 1 mole of NaCl </u>
| 58.44 grams NaCl = .0924 moles of NaCl
<u>Plug into calculator method:</u>
(5.4 g of NaCl/ 58.44g NaCl= .0925 moles)
A lithium atom has 3 protons and 3 electrons. It can lose one of its electrons, making it an ion. It now has more positive protons than electrons so it has an overall positive charge. Overall charge is +1
