BR Gen Chem Example 1.13
Which of the following 1.0-gram samples yields the MOST moles of sodium cation?
A. 1.0 g NaCl
B. 1.0 g NaBr
C. 1.0 g NaNO3
D. 1.0 g Na2CO3
Before looking at the answer explanation I calculated the values. What is wrong with my thinking. For example for answer choice A:
1.0 g NaCl (mol NaCl/58 g NaCl) (mol Na/mol NaCl)
Wouldn’t this calculation yield the number of moles?
