Answer:
19 g
Explanation:
Data Given:
Sodium Chloride (table salt) = 50 g
Amount of sodium (Na) = ?
Solution:
Molecular weight calculation:
NaCl = 23 + 35.5
NaCl = 58.5 g/mol
Mass contributed by Sodium = 23 g
calculate the mole percent composition of sodium (Na) in sodium Chloride.
Since the percentage of compound is 100
So,
Percent of sodium (Na) = 23 / 58.5 x 100
Percent of sodium (Na) = 39.3 %
It means that for ever gram of sodium chloride there is 0.393 g of Na is present.
So,
for the 50 grams of table salt (NaCl) the mass of Na will be
mass of sodium (Na) = 0.393 x 50 g
mass of sodium (Na) = 19 g
The polarity of a water molecule
comes from the uneven distribution of electron density of hydrogen and oxygen
atom. The oxygen in the water molecule is more electronegative than the
hydrogen. Water has a partial positive charge near the hydrogen atom and a
partial negative charge near the oxygen atom. The result of this
electrostatic attraction results in the bond called hydrogen bond. Also,
because of this bond, it has the ability to dissolve most of the solutes due to
its polarity and bonding.
