Solution

The correct option is C 58.5
The molecular weight of sodium chloride, NaCl, is 22.990 + 35.453, or 58.5
For NaCl, the valence is 1 because only one hydrogen atom could bond with NaCl.
Divide the molecular weight by the valence to calculate the equivalent weight. The equivalent weight of NaCl is 58.5/1 or 58.5
