The molecular weight of calcium gluconate is 430 g/mol, which means `(430 \quad g)/(1 \quad mol)`. Therefore, using equation method we can write:
`(430 \quad g)/(1 \quad mol)=(494.5 \quad g)/x therefore x = 1.15` mol, Ans.
Using shortcut, the number of moles (`n`) is obtained by dividing gram amount of the substance with its molecular weight. Therefore,
`n=g/a=(494.5 \quad g)/(430 (g/(mol)))=1.15\quad mol` Ans.
