Question

The molecular weight of table salt, NaCl, is 58.5 g/mol. A tablespoon of salt weighs 6.37 grams. Calculate the number of moles of salt in one tablespoon. Next, cancel like terms and units: Which of the following shows the correct terms and units canceled?
A>N>S: the 2nd one

Answer 1

Answer:

the second one

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

The number of moles of salt in one tablespoon is = 0.11 mole

Grams cancel each other.

Explanation:

Moles : It is the unit of quantity . It is the mass of the substance present in exactly 12g of C-12.

$moles=\frac{given\ mass}{Molar\ mass}$

Moles Calculation:

Given mass = 6.37  gram

Molar mass = 58.5 g/mol

$moles=\frac{6.37}{58.5}$

= 0.1088

= 0.11 mole

Units calculation

$moles=\frac{given\ mass}{Molar\ mass}$

$moles=\frac{g}{g/mole}$

$moles=\frac{g}{g}\times mole$

g ang g cancels each other

moles = moles

Hence unit = gram (g ) cancel each other.
