Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Whether it is reasonable to set a dinner table with $1$ mole of salt, $\text{NaCl}$, in a salt shaker with a capacity of $\text{2}\text{oz}$ is to be predicted. Whether it is reasonable to set a dinner table with $1$ mole of sugar, ${\text{C}}_{\text{12}}{\text{H}}_{\text{22}}{\text{O}}_{\text{11}}$, in a sugar bowl with a capacity of $\text{10}\text{oz}$ is to be predicted.
