1. Find the molar mass of sodium:
* The molar mass of sodium (Na) is approximately 22.99 g/mol.
2. Use the formula:
* moles = mass / molar mass
3. Plug in the values:
* moles = 120 g / 22.99 g/mol
4. Calculate:
* moles ≈ 5.22 mol
Therefore, there are approximately 5.22 moles of sodium in 120 grams.
