Question

What food item will provide 1 mole of sodium in the least mass? What is that mass?

Answer 1

Answer:

Can of soup and pop Tarts.

Explanation:

Can of soup will provide 1 mole of sodium whereas pop Tart provides potassium in the least mass because the concentration of sodium and potassium in can of soup is higher than other food items. The can of soup has 300 mg of sodium and pop Tart has 0.5 g of potassium while on the other hand, honey nut, frosted flakes, Oreos and pop Tarts has  0.14 g, 0.12 g, 0.3 g, and 0.35 g of potassium respectively and can of soup, honey nut,  frosted flakes and Oreos has 190 mg, 150 mg, 80 mg, and 180 mg of potassium respectively which is lower than pop Tart so we can say that less amount of pop tart provides more potassium. 9579 of soup and 7505 of pop Tart are the masses required for I mole sodium and potassium.
