Answer:

121.1g

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to convert the number of molecules of NaCl to moles (n) by dividing by Avagadro number

That is, n = number of molecules ÷ 6.02 × 10²³

n = 1.25 X 10²⁴ ÷ 6.02 × 10²³

n = 1.25/6.02 × 10^ (24-23)

n = 0.207 × 10¹

n = 2.07moles

Using the formula; mole = mass ÷ molar mass

Molar mass of NaCl = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5g/mol

mass = molar mass × mole

mass = 58.5 × 2.07

mass = 121.1g
