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.
* The molar mass of NaCl is 22.99 + 35.45 = 58.44 g/mol
2. Use the formula:
* grams = moles × molar mass
3. Plug in the values:
* grams = 0.40 mol × 58.44 g/mol
* grams = 23.38 g
Therefore, there are 23.38 grams of sodium chloride in 0.40 moles.
