Explanation:

<u>DIFFERENCE:</u>

The difference between element and compound is that the element is the substance which is made of same type of the atoms, whereas the compound is made of different elements which are combined in definite proportions.

<u>SIMILARITY:</u>

Elements and Compounds both contains atoms. They both have bonds linking atoms together. They both are pure substances and homogeneous in composition.

Examples of elements include copper, hydrogen, oxygen, etc.

Examples of compounds include water, salt NaCl, etc.

Molar mass is the amount grams that one mole weighs.

Explanation: You need to find the molar mass of NaCl which is the same as the amu on the periodic table in grams. So it is 22.99(Na) + 35.45(Cl) = 58.44

You also know that for every mole of NaCl you have 1 mole of Na because every molecule of NaCl has 1 atom of Na.

Finally, using the periodic table, again, you see that the molar mass of Na is 22.99.

Then using stoichiometry, you can find the grams of sodium.

100(g NaCl) * 1 mol (NaCl)/58.44 g (NaCl) * 1 mol (Na)/ 1 mol (NaCl) * 22.99 (g of Na)/ 1 mol (Na)

which equals 39.339435 g of Na.

If you need to maintain significant figures the answer will be 40.
