How many moles of Carbon are in 3.06 g of Carbon

Explanation:

If we want to convert from grams to moles, the molar mass is used. This is the mass of 1 mole. They are found on the Periodic Table as the atomic masses, but the units are grams per mole (g/mol) instead of atomic mass units (amu).

Look up the molar mass of carbon.

Set up a ratio using the molar mass.

Since we are converting 3.06 grams to moles, we multiply by that value.

Flip the ratio. This way, the ratio is still equivalent, but the units of grams of carbon cancel.

The original measurement of grams (3.06) has 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we calculated, that is the thousandth place.

The 7 in the ten-thousandth place tells us to round the 4 up to a 5.

3.06 grams of carbon is approximately 0.255 moles of carbon.

nacl or sodium chloride is an ionic compound. this is because an ionic compound pertains to a compound that consists of positively and negatively charged ions. in this case, na (sodium) has a tendency to lose one electron when it reacts with with other atoms, so the resulting sodium ion contains 11 protons and 10 electrons, thus making it positively charged (na+), when chlorine reacts, it usually gains one electron to form an ion called chloride, thus making it negatively charged ( since the ions are oppositely charged, they attract.
