Step 1

NaCl is a salt and its molar mass is calculated as:

The molar mass of NaCl = 35.5 g/mol (Cl) + 22.9 g/mol (Na) = 58.4 g/mol

--------------------------

Step 2

Information provided:

Number of moles of NaCl = 3.66 moles

--------------------------

Step 3

Number of moles = n = mass of NaCl/the molar mass of NaCl

The molar mass = 58.4 g/mol (from Step 1)

Procedure: for NaCl

n = mass/molar mass

n x molar mass = mass

3.66 moles x 58.4 g/mol = 214 g approx.

Answer: mass of NaCl = 214 g
