The Dietary Guidelines recommend that the general population consume no more than 2,300 milligrams of sodium a day (about a teaspoon of table salt).

Some people are more sensitive to the effects of salt than others. The guidelines also recommend that, in general, these populations consume no more than 1,500 milligrams.

These populations include

  • African Americans
  • People with high blood pressure, kidney disease, or Diabetes
  • People who are middle-age or older

One 55-gram serving of a particular cereal supplies 270 mg of sodium 11 of the recommended daily allowance. How many moles and atoms of sodium are in the recommended daily allowance?

The recommended daily allowance of sodium is approximately 2,300 mg. To find the number of moles, divide this amount by the molar mass of sodium (approximately 23 g/mol): ( \frac{2300 , \text{mg}}{23,000 , \text{mg/mol}} \approx 0.1 , \text{mol} ). Since one mole of sodium contains Avogadro's number (approximately ( 6.022 \times 10^{23} )) of atoms, the total number of sodium atoms in the recommended daily allowance is about ( 0.1 , \text{mol} \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} , \text{atoms/mol} \approx 6.022 \times 10^{22} ) atoms.
