How are 0.50 mol Na_(2)CO_(3) and 0.50 M Na_(2)CO_(3) different ?

1.	How are 0.50 mol Na_(2)CO_(3) and 0.50 M Na_(2)CO_(3) different ?
Answer» Solution :Atomic MASS of `Na_(2)CO_(3)` `= (2 xx 22.99) + 12.01 + (3 xx 16)` `= 105.99 ~~ 106` gm/mole 0.5 mole `Na_(2)CO_(3) = 0.5 xx 106` `= 53 gm Na_(2)CO_(3)` So, 0.5 mole `Na_(2)CO_(3)` MEANS 53 gm `Na_(2)CO_(3)` present in 1 litre solution.
