(a)
Interpretation:
To calculate the formula weight for
Concept Introduction:
Formula mass is the sum of masses of the atoms present in a molecule. These compounds are those that do not generally occur as a single molecule. For e.g.
When we calculate the sum of masses of the elements present in a compound in 1 mole, we calculate it for the Avogadro number, molar mass comes out in grams.
For,
The formula mass is calculated as sum of 1 Sodium atom and 1 mole of Chlorine atoms.
