Question

Convert from 1.56×1030 particles of sodium chloride (NaCl) to grams of sodium chloride.

Answer 1

Answer:

15.14×10⁷ g

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of particles of NaCl = 1.56×10³⁰ particles

Mass of sodium chloride = ?

Solution:

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.  The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ particles

1.56×10³⁰ particles × 1 mol / 6.022 × 10²³ particles

0.259 ×10⁷ mol

Mass in gram:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.259 ×10⁷ mol × 58.44 g/mol

Mass = 15.14×10⁷ g
