Solution
Here 0.50 mol of sodium carbonate refers to the number of moles whereas 0.50 M refers to the molarity of sodium carbonate.
Number of moles = given mass/molar mass Molarity = No. of moles / volume of solution in L 0.50 mole Na2CO3 indicates 3 x1023molecules ofNa2CO3. While 0.50 MNa2CO3 indicates that3 x10^23molecules ofNa2CO3 are dissolved in 1 L water
