1. Find the molar mass of LiCl:
* Lithium (Li) has a molar mass of 6.941 g/mol
* Chlorine (Cl) has a molar mass of 35.453 g/mol
* Molar mass of LiCl = 6.941 g/mol + 35.453 g/mol = 42.394 g/mol
2. Use the formula:
* Moles = Mass / Molar mass
3. Substitute the values:
* Moles = 55 g / 42.394 g/mol
* Moles ≈ 1.30 mol
Therefore, there are approximately 1.30 moles in 55 g of lithium chloride.
