Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If 10 grams of NaCl are dissolved in water, how many moles of NaCl are present? (Molar mass of NaCl = 58.5 g/mol)
  • Step 1: Identify the mass of NaCl you have, which is 10 grams.
  • Step 2: Identify the molar mass of NaCl, which is 58.5 grams per mole.
  • Step 3: Use the formula to calculate moles: Moles = mass (g) / molar mass (g/mol).
  • Step 4: Plug in the values: Moles = 10 g / 58.5 g/mol.
  • Step 5: Perform the division: 10 divided by 58.5 equals approximately 0.171.
  • Step 6: Conclude that there are about 0.171 moles of NaCl present.
  • Mole Concept – Understanding the relationship between mass, molar mass, and the number of moles in a substance.
  • Molar Mass Calculation – Using the molar mass of a compound to convert grams to moles.
