First, you have to find the molar mass of sodium fluoride.

The equation for sodium fluoride is NaF (1 Na and 1 F). So, you look at the molar masses of Na and F on the periodic table (the numbers with the long decimals, under the Na or F symbol) and add them up.

Molar mass of Na = 22.990 grams/mole
Molar mass of F = 18.998 grams/mole
Molar mass of NaF = 22.990 + 18.998 = 41.988 grams/mol

So, multiply to find the number of grams:


(4.5\ mol\ NaF)((41.998\ grams\ NaF)/(1\ mol\ NaF)) = 188.946\ grams\ NaF
