1. Find the molar mass of NaCl:
* Sodium (Na) has a molar mass of 22.99 g/mol
* Chlorine (Cl) has a molar mass of 35.45 g/mol
* Molar mass of NaCl = 22.99 g/mol + 35.45 g/mol = 58.44 g/mol
2. Use the formula:
* Grams = Moles x Molar mass
3. Calculate:
* Grams = 8 moles x 58.44 g/mol = 467.52 grams
Therefore, 8 moles of sodium chloride (NaCl) is equal to 467.52 grams.
