Answer:
5.00 grams of salt contain more particles than 5.0 grams of sugar
Explanation:
Salt = NaCl
Molar mass = 58.45 g/mol
Sugar = C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁
Molar mass = 342.3 g/mol
Sugar's molar mass is higher than salt.
So 1 mol of sugar weighs more than 1 mol of salt
But 5 grams of salt occupies more mole than 5 grams of sugar
5 grams of salt = 5g / 58.45 g/m = 0.085 moles
5 grams of sugar = 5g/ 342.3 g/m = 0.014 moles
In conclusion, we have more moles of salt in 5 grams; therefore there are more particles than in 5 g of sugar.
If you move a substance from one container to another and its volume changes substances is gas.
