Question

Suppose you analyze a 35.9 g sample of bleach and determine that there are 3.86 g of sodium hypochlorite present.What is the percent of sodium hypochlorite in the bleach sample?

Answer 1

`\%NaClO=10.8\%`

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the percent of any substance into a mixture containing it, is computed by dividing the mass of the substance and the mass of the whole mixture, for 3.86 g of pure sodium hypochloride (bleach's active component) dissolved in 35.9 g of bleach, the percent turns out:

`\%NaClO =(3.86g)/(35.9g)*100\%\\\\\%NaClO=10.8\%`

Best regards!
