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.
