Calculate the percent by weight of sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) in sodium chloride (NaCl) * Calculate the molecular mass (MM):
MM = 22.99 + 35.45 = 58.44 * Calculate the total mass of Na present:
1 Na is present in the formula, mass = 22.99 * Calculate the percent by weight of Na in NaCl:
%Na = (mass Na ÷ MM) x 100 = (22.99 ÷ 58.44) x 100 = 39.34% * Calculate the total mass of Cl present:
1 Cl is present in the formula, mass = 35.45 * Calculate the percent by weight of Cl in NaCl:
%Cl = (mass Cl ÷ MM) x 100 = (35.45 ÷ 58.44) x 100 = 60.66% The answers above are probably correct if %Na + %Cl = 100, that is,
39.34 + 60.66 = 100.
Sodium chloride contain 60,334 17 % chlorine.
NaCl
The chemical composition of a solution made by dissolving NaCl in water is sodium chloride (NaCl) and water (H2O).
The answer is 0,0001 %.
The percentage of chlorine in NaCl is 60,33417 %.
NaCl (sodium chloride)
The mass percent composition of an element in a compound is the percentage of the total mass of the compound that comes from that specific element. It is calculated by dividing the mass of the element by the total mass of the compound and multiplying by 100.
First it is necessary to determine the impurities in NaCl; by difference the total percentage of NaCl is obtained.
The composition of salt is sodium chloride.
The cation, or positively charged ion, in NaCl is Na+.
salt=NaCl, its chemical composition
Sodium chloride has any acid in the composition.
