How do I change the molecular weight(58) of NaCl to grams?
Do you mean 58g/mole?
jake is correct BUT 58 is not the molar mass of NaCl. It's closer to 58.5, actually, 58.4425
To change the molecular weight of NaCl to grams, you need to use the formula:
Mass = Molecular weight * Number of moles
First, let's calculate the number of moles of NaCl. To do this, you need to know the mass of NaCl that you have. Let's assume you have 58 grams of NaCl, which is equivalent to its molecular weight.
Number of moles = Mass / Molecular weight
Plugging in the values:
Number of moles = 58 g / 58 g/mol = 1 mole
Now that you have the number of moles, you can calculate the mass by multiplying it by the molecular weight:
Mass = 1 mole * 58 g/mol = 58 grams
Therefore, if you have 58 grams of NaCl, the mass is already in grams.
