Answer:
The answer to your question is 0.41 moles
Explanation:
Data
moles of NaCl = ?
mass of NaCl = 24 g
Process
To solve this problem just calculate the molar mass of NaCl, and remember that the molar mass of any substance equals to 1 mol.
1.- Calculate the molar mass
NaCl = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5 g
2.- Use proportions and cross multiplication
58.5 g of NaCl ------------------- 1 mol
24.0 g ------------------- x
x = (24 x 1) / 58.5
x = 0.41 moles
Answer:
3.) 195
Explanation:
Because platinum is 195.079 amu (its on the periodic table)
The law of conservation of mass or principle of mass conservation states that for any system closed to all transfers of matter and energy, the mass of the system must remain constant over time, as system's mass cannot change, so quantity cannot be added nor removed. Hence, the quantity of mass is conserved over time.
The law implies that mass can neither be created nor destroyed, although it may be rearranged in space, or the entities associated with it may be changed in form. For example, in chemical reactions, the mass of the chemical components before the reaction is equal to the mass of the components after the reaction. Thus, during any chemical reaction and low-energy thermodynamic processes in an isolated system, the total mass of the reactants, or starting materials, must be equal to the mass of the products.
According to the Law of Conservation, all atoms of the reactant(s) must equal the atoms of the product(s).
As a result, we need to balance chemical equations. We do this by adding in coefficients to the reactants and/or products. The compound(s) itself/themselves DOES NOT CHANGE.
This reaction is decomposition. It is the breakdown of a compound into simpler and smaller elements.
