Question

PLEASE HELP What is the mass of sodium in 50 grams of salt? Show your work.

Answer 1

50 grams salt

Volume of 50 Grams of Salt

50 Grams of Salt =

2.78 Tablespoons

8.33 Teaspoons

0.17 U.S. Cups

0.14 Imperial Cups

Answer 2

19,7g of Na

Step-by-step explanation:

The molecular formula of common salt is NaCl, the molar mass is molar mass of Na + molar mass of Cl:

22,99g/mol + 35,45 g/mol = 58,44 g/mol

Thus, 50g of NaCl contains:

50g × (1mol / 58,44g) = 0,856 moles.

If 1 mole of Na are 22,99g, 0,856 moles are:

0,856 moles × (22,99g / 1mol) = 19,7g of Na

I hope it helps!
