Answer:


\huge{ \boxed{1.213 \: \text{moles}}}

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of moles in a substance given it's number of entities we use the formula


\bold{n = (N)/(L)} \\

where

  • n is the number of moles
  • N is the number of entities
  • L is the Avogadro's constant which is 6.02 × 10²³ entities

From the question

N = 7.30 × 10²³ NaCl molecules


n = \frac{7.30 * {10}^(23) }{6.02 * {10}^(23) } = (7.30)/(6.02) \\ = 1.2126

We have the final answer as

1.213 moles
