ANSWER
The mole of NaOH is 1.5 moles
STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION
Given parameters
Mass of NaOH = 60.0g
To find the mole of NaOH, we need to find the molar mass of NaOH
Given the molar mass of each element
• Na = 23 g/mol
,• O = 16 g/mol
,• H = 1 g/mol
Molar mass of NaOH = (23) + (16) + 1
Molar mass of NaOH = 23 + 16 + 1
Molar mass of NaOH = 40 g/mol
The formula for calculating molar mass is given below as
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Mole = }\frac{\text{ reacting mass}}{\text{molar mass}} \\ \text{Mole = }\frac{60}{40} \\ \text{Mole = 1.5 moles} \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, the mole of NaOH is 1.5 moles
