D
0.0232 mol
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the given information: the mass of lithium chloride (LiCl) is 0.550 g, and the molar mass of LiCl is 42.39 g/mol.
Recall the formula to calculate moles from mass and molar mass: \(\text{moles} = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{molar mass}}\).
Substitute the given values into the formula: \(\text{moles of LiCl} = \frac{0.550\ \text{g}}{42.39\ \text{g/mol}}\).
Perform the division to find the number of moles of LiCl in the sample.
Compare your calculated value with the provided options to select the correct number of moles.
