Frequently Asked Questions
What is the molar mass of Sodium hypochlorite?
The molar mass of Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) is 74.439 g/mol. That is the sum of the standard atomic weights of all 3 atoms in one formula unit: 1 × 35.450 + 1 × 22.990 + 1 × 15.999 = 74.439.
What is the molecular weight of Sodium hypochlorite?
74.439 — the same number as the molar mass, but as a dimensionless ratio rather than in g/mol. The two terms describe the same arithmetic, so a molecular weight of 74.44 and a molar mass of 74.44 g/mol are the same answer.
How many moles are in 100 g of Sodium hypochlorite?
100 ÷ 74.439 = 1.3434 mol. To convert any mass to moles, divide by the molar mass; to go the other way, multiply.
What is the percent composition of Sodium hypochlorite?
By mass, Sodium hypochlorite is 47.62% chlorine, 30.88% sodium, 21.49% oxygen. Each element's share is its total mass in the formula divided by 74.439.
How many atoms are in one formula unit of Sodium hypochlorite?
3: 1 chlorine, 1 sodium, 1 oxygen. One mole contains 6.02214076 × 10²³ formula units, so a mole of Sodium hypochlorite contains 3 × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms in total.
