Answer: 2 mol.
- A 1 mol
- B 2 mol
- C 3 mol
- D 0.5 mol
Correct answer: B. 2 mol
Explanation: NaCl dissociates into Na+ and Cl-. One mole of NaCl gives 1 mole Na+ and 1 mole Cl-, total 2 moles of ions.
Mass connects to moles via molar mass, and moles connect to particle count via Avogadro's number or to gas volume via the 22.4 L/mol rule at STP.
Concept context
The mole is chemistry's counting unit. Learn to relate mass, volume, and number of particles using Avogadro's number and molar mass, the foundation of all stoichiometry and reaction calculations.
