  • Converting Moles to Grams: Calculating Mass of Sodium Chloride (NaCl)
    Here's how to calculate the grams of sodium chloride (NaCl) in 4.80 moles:

    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 conversion factor:

    * 1 mole NaCl = 58.44 grams NaCl

    3. Calculate the mass:

    * 4.80 mol NaCl * (58.44 g NaCl / 1 mol NaCl) = 280.51 grams NaCl

    Therefore, there are 280.51 grams in 4.80 moles of sodium chloride.
