mass of sodium chloride (mg)
mass of sodium chloride (kg)
how to convert between mass units
methods reset my notes lab data show labels
phase 2
determine mass of sodium chloride
complete the following steps: approximately 18.6 g of sodium chloride (nacl)
return scoopula to lab bench
3
record exact mass of sodium chloride in lab data
4
convert mass of sodium chloride to milligrams. record in lab data
5
go to phase 3

Explanation:

Step1: Recall unit conversion factor

We know that \(1\space g = 1000\space mg\). So to convert grams to milligrams, we multiply the mass in grams by 1000.

Step2: Perform the conversion

Given the mass of sodium chloride is \(18.6\space g\). To convert it to milligrams, we use the formula: \(Mass\space in\space mg = Mass\space in\space g\times1000\).
Substituting the value, we get \(18.6\times1000 = 18600\space mg\).

Answer:

18600
