Well as it is 39.33% then go with a. also with 58.44 grams of NaCl you have 22.99 g Na so x100% = 39.33%

Answer:

Explanation:

Molecular mass of NaCl = 58.44g/mol

Molecular mass of Na = 22.98g/mol

Molecular mass of Cl = 35.5g/mol

To find the percentage mass of Na in NaCl we divide the molecular mass of Na by the total number of atoms of Na present in the compound which in this case is 1 by the molecular mass of the compound

%Na = molecular mass of Na / molecular mass of compound.

%Na =( 22.98 / 58.44 ) * 100

% Na = 0.3932 * 100 = 39.32%

The mass percent of Na present in NaCl is 39.32%

Which of the following steps correctly converts 1.25 moles of fluorine to an equivalent mass of fluorine in grams? (5 points)

steposvetlana [31]

Explanation:

Given the amount of fluorine is ---- 1.25 mol.

What is the mass of given fluorine in grams?

Since

$Number of moles =\frac{given mass of the substance}{its molecular mass}$

To get the mass of the substance in grams, multiply the given number of moles with the molecular mass of the substance.

Hence, among the given options, the correct answer is the last option that is

Multiply the atomic mass of fluorine by 1.25.
