Molar Masses — Quiz

Question 1 • Chemistry

Which best compares 1 mol of sodium chloride to 1 mol of aluminum chloride?

Answer
A
Both have the same number of ions.
B
Both have the same molar mass.
C
Both are made up of 6 point 0 2 times 10 to the 23th power formula units.
D
Both are made up of 6 point 0 2 times 10 to the 23th power molecules.

Explanation

One mole of any substance contains about 6.02 × 10²³ representative particles. Sodium chloride and aluminum chloride are ionic compounds, so their representative particles are called formula units, not molecules. Thus, 1 mol of each contains 6.02 × 10²³ formula units. They do not have the same number of ions per formula unit or the same molar mass.
