Question

Suppose you analyze a 30.3 g sample of bleach and determine that there are 2.61 g of sodium hypochlorite present. What is the percent of sodium hypochlorite in the bleach sample

Answer 1

8.61 %

Step-by-step explanation:

The percent of sodium hypochlorite in the bleach sample can be calculated using the following formula:

• % of sodium hypochlorite = Mass of sodium hypochlorite / mass of sample * 100%

We input the data given by the problem:

• % of sodium hypochlorite = 2.61 g / 30.3 g * 100 % = 8.61 %
