00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.330
Here is the problem: How many moles are in 10 g of NaCl?

2
00:00:04.780 --> 00:00:09.703
Add the atomic weights of all 2 atoms in one formula unit of NaCl.

3
00:00:10.503 --> 00:00:20.615
Count the atoms of each element. Subscripts multiply everything inside the brackets before them, and a hydrate coefficient multiplies the whole water (or other) unit.

4
00:00:21.065 --> 00:00:28.019
Look up each atomic weight (g/mol). IUPAC standard atomic weights (abridged, conventional values).

5
00:00:28.469 --> 00:00:31.441
Multiply each count by its atomic weight.

6
00:00:31.891 --> 00:00:33.365
Add the contributions.

7
00:00:34.165 --> 00:00:36.046
Mass percent of each element.

8
00:00:36.496 --> 00:00:38.574
Convert the sample mass to moles.

9
00:00:39.024 --> 00:00:40.707
Number of formula units.

10
00:00:41.507 --> 00:00:51.201
So the answer is M(NaCl) equals 58.44 g/mol; 10 g equals 0.171116 mol.

11
00:00:51.651 --> 00:01:03.331
The molar mass is the mass of one mole of formula units. It equals the sum of the atomic weights of every atom in the formula, and numerically matches the formula mass in daltons (u).

12
00:01:04.131 --> 00:01:08.171
Percent composition adds to 100.00 percent.

13
00:01:08.621 --> 00:01:11.825
Elements: sodium times 1, chlorine times 1.
