"How much" isn't incredibly specific; what exactly is the measurement?
The chemical formula for table salt (sodium chloride) is NaCl - one atom of sodium and one atom of chlorine. So if we're measuring number of atoms, there is 50% sodium and 50% chlorine in one molecule.
If we're measuring mass, that's a bit different. The mass of one mole of sodium is about 23.0 grams and the mass of one mole of chlorine is about 35.5 grams. Since both are in equal amounts, we can use percentages and it will still apply to one molecule. One mole of sodium chloride would therefore be 58.5 grams (35.5 + 23.0).
23.0 grams of that 58.5 is sodium, so 39.3% of one mole or one molecule is sodium by mass.

What is a example of NaCl molecule?
Sodium chloride is an example of a common table salt.
How many atoms of sodium are there in formula for table salt?
The formula is NaCl; therefore, the formula has one sodium atom.
What is the common name for the molecule sodium chloride?
I believe it's table salt.
Is table salt a molecule?
yes I think its a combination of sodium and chloride NaCl
How much sodium in kosher salt?
Table salt and kosher salt are both 39% sodium by weight.
How many atoms make up one molecule of table salt?
One molecule of table salt, or sodium chloride (NaCl), consists of two atoms: one sodium atom and one chlorine atom.
Name the elements that are in table salt?
One atom sodium and one atom chlorine in each salt molecule.
When one molecule of sodium combines with one molecule of chlorine what is formed?
Sodium ions and chlorine ions form sodium chloridemolecules; this forms salt crystals; table salt to be more precise!Equations:Sodium + Chlorine --> Sodium Chloride2Na + Cl2 --> 2NaClIonic equation: Na+ + Cl- --> NaCl
Is common salt an organic molecule?
No, organic molecules contain carbon atoms covalently bonded to other elements and table salt (NaCl) has no carbon in it. Table salt (Sodium Chloride) is made of the two elements of Sodium and Chlorine.
What does NaCl stand for in chemistry?
NaCl is the chemical formula for sodium chloride, often known as "table salt". "Na+" is the formula for a sodium ion; "Cl-" is the formula for a chloride ion. The charges balance to give a ratio of 1 sodium ion : 1 chloride ion per molecule of NaCl.
Is sodium nitrate table salt?
No, sodium nitrate is not the same as table salt. Sodium nitrate is a chemical compound used in curing meats, while table salt is sodium chloride used as a seasoning.
What does the. formula for table salt indicate about that compound?
Table salt, NaCl is formed from Na and Cl.
