Answer 1

Answer:

60.7%

Explanation:

Molar mass of NaCl = 23 +35.5

= 58.5 g/mol

Molar mass of Cl = 35.5 g/mol

Percentage by mass of Cl =?

The percentage by mass of Cl in NaCl can be obtained as shown below'

Percentage by mass = mass of element / mass of the compound × 100

Percentage by mass of Cl

= 35.5 / 58.5 × 100

= 3550 / 58.5

= 60.7%

Therefore, the percentage by mass of Cl in NaCl is 60.7%
