We just use stoichiometry. The molecular formula for sodium chloride is NaCl.

First we must find the molar mass of NaCl, using the molar masses of each element in the compound. So, 23 g/mol of Na + 36 g/mol of Cl = 58 g/mol of NaCl.

Next, we take the amount of grams you have (26 grams) and divide it by the molar mass of NaCl to find the number of moles in your sample. 26 g NaCl / 58 g/mol of NaCl = .45 mol NaCl.

Finally, we convert that to the number of NaCl molecules in a mole by multiplying .45 moles by 6.02x1023. This equals 2.7x1023 molecules. Because, technically, NaCl is made up of 2 atoms per molecule, you can multiply that by 2, giving 5.7x1023 atoms.
