OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Haha, thanks, but I don't get 23 g to be the answer.

OpenStudy (tywower):

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Because I get one of the other options to be more mass when converted to grams.

OpenStudy (tywower):

ooh

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Do you know how to convert from moles to mass?

OpenStudy (tywower):

not really

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Ok, let me show you. We use the molar mass. Do you know what the molar mass of Na is?

OpenStudy (tywower):

22.9898

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Right. And that number is the number of grams in 1 mole of Na

OpenStudy (tywower):

yes

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

We need to do a conversion that cancels out the unit of mol and goes to g |dw:1434382435002:dw|
