* Identify the elements: Sodium (Na), Chlorine (Cl), and Oxygen (O)
* Find their atomic masses:
* Na: 22.99 g/mol
* Cl: 35.45 g/mol
* O: 16.00 g/mol
* Multiply each atomic mass by its subscript in the formula:
* Na: 22.99 g/mol * 1 = 22.99 g/mol
* Cl: 35.45 g/mol * 1 = 35.45 g/mol
* O: 16.00 g/mol * 1 = 16.00 g/mol
* Add the results together:
* 22.99 g/mol + 35.45 g/mol + 16.00 g/mol = 74.44 g/mol
Therefore, the molar mass of sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) is 74.44 g/mol.
