You were looking at the wrong page. This is the page for Sodium Chloride:

https://www.convertunits.com/molarmass/NaCl

Molar mass of NaCl = 58.44277 g/mol

You were looking at this page:

https://www.convertunits.com/molarmass/NaCI

The last letter in that URL is a capital "I" instead of a lowercase "l" which look the same on many web browsers so it can be confusing.

Na is Sodium, C is Carbon, and I is Iodine, so:

Molar mass of NaCI = 161.90494 g/mol

This is a valid compound, but it's not Sodium Chloride. Unfortunately, web browsers aren't great as distinguishing visually between the uppercase "I" and lowercase "l" in a sans-serif font, so make sure you always double check the URL to get the correct page.
