Answer:
The answer to your question is 0.41 moles
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
moles of NaCl = ?
mass of NaCl = 24 g
Process
To solve this problem just calculate the molar mass of NaCl, and remember that the molar mass of any substance equals to 1 mol.
1.- Calculate the molar mass
NaCl = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5 g
2.- Use proportions and cross multiplication
58.5 g of NaCl ------------------- 1 mol
24.0 g ------------------- x
x = (24 x 1) / 58.5
x = 0.41 moles
