Question

* The cost of table salt and table sugar is Rs 15 per kg.
and Rs 69 per kg respectively calculate their cost per mole?​

Answer 1

Cost per mole

Table salt : Rs 0.878

Table sugar : Rs 23.63

Further explanation

Given

Cost table salt (NaCl) = 15/kg

Cost table sugar(sucrose-C12H22O11) = 69/kg

Required

cost per mole

Solution

mol of 1 kg Table salt(NaCl ,MW= 58.5 g/mol) :

$\tt mol=\dfrac{1000~g}{58.5}=17.09~mol=Rs~15\rightarrow 1~mol=Rs~0.878$

mol of 1 kg Table sugar(C12H22O11 ,MW= 342 g/mol) :

$\tt mol=\dfrac{1000}{342}=2.92~mol=Rs~69\rightarrow 1~mol=Rs~23.63$
