Respuesta :
N(number of moles)=mass/molar mass
10.5=mass
Na=23 (rounded)
Cl=36 (rounded)
Add it together to get the molar mass
=59
Then refer back to the formula
10.5/59
=0.17796
Round that answer
=0.18 mol
Answer : The correct option is, 0.180 mole
Explanation : Given,
Mass of NaCl = 10.5 g
Molar mass of NaCl = 58.5 g/mole
Formula used :
[tex]\text{Moles of NaCl}=\frac{\text{Mass of NaCl}}{\text{Molar mass of NaCl}}[/tex]
Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the moles of NaCl.
[tex]\text{Moles of NaCl}=\frac{10.5g}{58.5g/mole}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Moles of NaCl}=0.179mole=0.180mole[/tex]
Therefore, the number of moles of NaCl is, 0.180 mole
