Answer:
58.5g/mol
Explanation:
Given substance:
Sodium chloride = NaCl
Unknown:
Molecular mass = ?
Solution:
The molecular mass of a compound is the gram-formula mass or gram-molecular weight of the compound.
It is determined by adding its component atomic masses and then express in grams per mole;
Atomic mass of Na = 23g
Atomic mass of Cl = 35.5g
NaCl = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5g/mol
