Question

If 3.50 moles of sodium chloride is added to your food, how many grams is added?

Answer 1

Answer:

204.8g

Explanation:

The number of moles of a substance is related to its mass and molecular mass as follows:

mole (n) = mass (m) ÷ molar mass (MM)

According to this question, 3.50 moles of sodium chloride (NaCl) is added to a food.

Molar mass of NaCl = 23 + 35.5

= 58.5g/mol

Using mole = mass/molar mass

Mass = molar mass × mole

Mass = 58.5g/mol × 3.5mol

Mass = 204.75

Mass = 204.8grams.

Therefore, 204.8grams of NaCl or common salt was added to the food.
