How many grams of NaCl are in 3.5 mol of NaCl? Also, how many moles of NaCl are in 150 g of NaCl?​

204.5505 grams

2.5666 moles

Explanation:

For the first question, multiply 3.5 (# of moles) by 58.443 (g/mol for NaCl).

58.443 * 3.5

I'll distribute 3.5 into 58.443.

(3.5 * 50) + (3.5 * 8) + (3.5 * 0.4) + (3.5 * 0.04) + (3.5 * 0.003)

175 + 28 + 1.4 + 0.14 + 0.0105

203 + 1.4 + 0.14 + 0.0105

204.4 + 0.14 + 0.0105

204.54 + 0.0105

204.5505 grams

There are 204.5505 grams in 3.5 moles of NaCl.

For the second question, divide 150 (# of grams) by 58.443 (g/mol for NaCl). I'll convert both into fractions.

150/1 * 1000/58443

150000/58443

2.56660336 moles

2.5666 moles (rounded to 4 places to keep consistency with the first answer) are in 150 grams of NaCl.

you didnt put any of the following

it forms an anion that has a larger radius. anions have a negative charge and are larger than the original atom.
