Answer 1

The mass of sodium chloride in the mixture is 18.75%

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the percentage of sodium chloride in the mixture.

The total mass of the mixture is 52 g + 12 g = 64 g

So the percentage mass of sodium chloride will be;

mass of sodium chloride/ Total mass * 100%

That will be: 12/64 * 100 = 18.75%
