The number of moles in 17.0g sodium chloride is 0.291 moles
What are moles?
In the International System of Units, Mole is the base unit of the amount of any substance.
The mass of NaCl is 17.0 g
The molar mass of Na is 22.99 g/mol
The molar mass of Cl is 35.45 g/mol
The molar mass of NaCl will be
(22.99 g/mol + 35.45 g/mol) = 58.44 g/mol
[tex]\rm Number\;of \;moles= \dfrac{mass}{molar\;mass}\\\\\\\rm Number\;of \;moles= \dfrac{17.0 g}{58.44\; g/m} =0.291 mol[/tex]
Thus, the number of moles in 17.0g sodium chloride is 0.291 moles.
