1. Convert kilograms to grams:
* 1 kg = 1000 g
* 2.10 kg * (1000 g / 1 kg) = 2100 g
2. Calculate the molar mass of NaHCO3:
* Na: 22.99 g/mol
* H: 1.01 g/mol
* C: 12.01 g/mol
* O: 16.00 g/mol (x3)
* Total molar mass: 22.99 + 1.01 + 12.01 + (16.00 x 3) = 84.01 g/mol
3. Divide the mass of NaHCO3 by its molar mass:
* Moles = mass / molar mass
* Moles = 2100 g / 84.01 g/mol
* Moles ≈ 25.0 moles
Therefore, there are approximately 25.0 moles in 2.10 kg of NaHCO3.
