Answer:
The amount of sodium in this sample = 32.4 grams
Explanation:
Mass of Sodium = 23 g/mol
Mass of Chlorine = 35.5 g/mol
Mass of NaCl = 35.5 g/mol
Fraction of Na in NaCl = [tex]\frac{23}{35.5}[/tex]
=0.648
We are given a sample of 50 grams of sodium chloride.
The amount of sodium in this sample = [tex]Amount of sodium in 1 gram sample \times weight of sample [/tex]
The amount of sodium in this sample = [tex]0.648 \times 50 [/tex]
The amount of sodium in this sample = 32.4 grams
