Question

What is the molar mass of NaCl?

Answer 1

The molar mass of NaCl is:

58.44 g/mol

Answer 2

Molar Mass of NaCl =  58.44 g/mol

Explanation:

The molar mass of a compound is its molecular weight and it is the total mass in grams of the atoms that form one mole of a certain molecule. Its unit of measurement is g/mol.  

NaCl is scientifically called Sodium Chloride and in general known as common salt.

To calculate the molar mass of NaCl, let's use its chemical formula. The compound is naturally occurring in substance on Earth and one molecule of common salt contains one atom of Sodium (Na) and one atom of Chlorine (Cl).

Atomic mass of Sodium (Na) = 1 X 22.98= 22.98 g/mol

Atomic mass of Chlorine (Cl) = 1 X 35.45= 35.45 g/mol

Molar Mass of NaCl = (22.98 + 35.45) g/mol = 58.44 g/mol
