Answer: The mass is 348.8g
Explanation:
We begin by using Avogadro's number to convert the number of molecules of Sodium Hydroxide to moles.
6.02 x 10∧23 molecules of NaOH -------> 1 mole of NaOH
∴ 5.25 x 10∧24 molecules of NaOH -------> 1/ 6.02 x 10∧23 x 5.25 x 10∧24 =
8.72moles.
Having found the number of moles, we then move from moles to gram by using the molar mass of NaOH (i.e the mass of 1 mole of NaOH).
1 mole of NaOH is equivalent to 40g (Molar Mass)
8.72 moles of NaOH would be equivalent to; 40/ 1 x 8.72 = 348.8g
The mass in 5.25 x 10∧24molecules of NaOH is 348.8g
