Question

Sodium hydroxide, NaOHNaOH; sodium phosphate, Na3PO4Na3PO4; and sodium nitrate, NaNO3NaNO3, are all common chemicals used in cleanser formulation. Rank the compounds in order from largest mass percent of sodium to smallest mass percent of sodium. Rank from largest mass percent to smallest mass percent. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them.

Answer 1

NaOH > Na3PO4 > NaNO3

Step-by-step explanation:

in NaOH

23/40 * 100 = 57.5%

in Na3PO4

3 * 23/164 * 100 = 42%

In NaNO3

23/85 * 100 = 27.1%

Hence;

NaOH > Na3PO4 > NaNO3
