What is the mass in milligrams of 4.30 moles of sodium?use âeâ for âÃ10" and use significant figures?

Respuesta :

First, calculate the mass of sodium in g with the help of molar mass and number of moles.

Number of moles = [tex]\frac{given mass in g}{molar mass}[/tex]   (1)

Molar mass of sodium =[tex]23 .0 g/mol[/tex]

Substitute the given value of number of moles and molar mass of sodium in formula (1)

[tex]4.30 moles = \frac{given mass in g}{23.0 g/mol}[/tex]   (1)

[tex]4.30 moles\times 23.0 g/mol = mass in g [/tex]   (1)

mass of sodium in g = [tex]98.9 g[/tex]

Now, according to conversion factor, 1 g = 1000 mg

So, [tex]98.9 g[/tex] of sodium = [tex]98.9 \times 1000  mg[/tex]

= [tex]98900 mg[/tex] of sodium

Thus, mass of sodium in mg  =[tex]9.89 \times 10^{4} mg[/tex]
