Consider a mixture of NaCl and NaNO3 that is 31.8% Na by mass. Calculate the percentage by mass of NaCl in the mixture.

lutik1710 [3]

Answer: The percentage by mass of NaCl in the mixture is 38.5 %

Explanation:

To calculate the mass percentage of element in compound, we use the equation:

$\text{Mass percent of element}=\frac{\text{Mass of element}}{\text{Mass of compound}}\times 100$ .......(1)

For NaCl:

Mass of sodium element = 23 g

Mass of NaCl = 58.5 g

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Mass percent of sodium element}=\frac{23g}{58.5g}\times 100=39.32\%$

Mass fraction of sodium metal in NaCl = 0.3932

For $NaNO_3$ :

Mass of sodium element = 23 g

Mass of $NaNO_3$ = 85 g

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Mass percent of sodium element}=\frac{23g}{85g}\times 100=27.1\%$

Mass fraction of sodium metal in sodium nitrate = 0.271

Let us assume the mass fraction of NaCl in the mixture is 'x'

So, the mass fraction of $NaNO_3$ in the mixture will be '(1-x)'

We are given:

Percent by mass of Na in the mixture = 31.8 %

Mass fraction of Na in the mixture = 0.318

Evaluating the mass fraction of NaCl in the mixture:

$[(x\times 0.3932)+((1-x)\times 0.271)]=0.318$

x = 0.385

Percent by mass of NaCl in the mixture will be = $(0.385\times 100)=38.5\%$

Hence, the percentage by mass of NaCl in the mixture is 38.5 %
