***20 pts*** If you had 3.02 grams of Sodium (Na), how many moles would that be?
ANSWER W STEPS IF NOT REPORTED

0.131 mol

Explanation:

To convert grams to moles, you need to use the molar mass.  The molar mass is the mass number.  You can find this on the periodic table.  The molar mass of sodium is 22.990 g/mol.

(3.02 g)/(22.990 g/mol) = 0.131 mol

j

explanation:

since the atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus, as we move to the left on the periodic table, the electrostatic pull between the nucleus and the valence electron shell decreases. as we move down a group (vertical column), the valence shell energy level gets further and further from the nucleus.
