Sodium has an atomic weight of 23 and chlorine has an atomic weight of 35.5 and there is one atom of each in each molecule of NaCl, so one molecule of NaCl has a total atomic weight of 58.5. The fraction of that weight that is chlorine is then 35.5/58.5 or about 0.607. Therefore, from the decomposition of 85.0 g of NaCl you would get 85.0 X 0.607 = about 51.6 grams. You can fill in more precise numbers if you would like and recalculate, but that would be my answer.
