Answer:
204.8g
Explanation:
The number of moles of a substance is related to its mass and molecular mass as follows:
mole (n) = mass (m) ÷ molar mass (MM)
According to this question, 3.50 moles of sodium chloride (NaCl) is added to a food.
Molar mass of NaCl = 23 + 35.5
= 58.5g/mol
Using mole = mass/molar mass
Mass = molar mass × mole
Mass = 58.5g/mol × 3.5mol
Mass = 204.75
Mass = 204.8grams.
Therefore, 204.8grams of NaCl or common salt was added to the food.
