Hello.

The answer is 1417.7

Its 1417.7 grams becasue you have to convert the moles to grams.


A mole is the amount of pure substance containing the same number of chemical units as there are atoms in exactly 12 grams of carbon-12 (i.e., 6.023 X 1023).

a coherent, typically large body of matter with no definite shape.

Have a nice day

Answer : The mass of the sample of NaCl will be, 1417.7 grams.

Explanation : Given,


\Delta H_(fusion)=30.2kJ/mol

This means that,

As, 1 mole of sample of NaCl has an enthalpy of fusion = 30.2 kJ

And, 1 mole of NaCl has the mass = 58.44 grams

As, 30.2 kJ of heat is needed for a mass 58.44 grams of NaCl

So, 732.6 kJ of heat will be needed for =
(58.44g)/(30.2kJ)* 732.6 kJ=1417.65\approx 1417.7 grams of NaCl.

Hence, the mass of sample of NaCl will be, 1417.7 grams.
