The total mass would be 142.05 g/mol. Since sodium is 22.99 g/mol and there are 2 sodium atoms, it would be 45.98 g/mol. Divide 45.98 by 142.05 and you get 32.37%

<u>Answer:</u> The percentage by weight of sodium in sodium sulfate is 32.37 %.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In Na_2SO_4, there are 2 sodium atoms, 1 sulfur atom and 4 oxygen atoms.

To calculate the mass percent of element in a given compound, we use the formula:

\text{Mass percent of sodium}=\frac{\text{Mass of sodium}}{\text{Molar mass of sodium sulfate}}\times 100

Mass of sodium = (2\times 22.99)=45.98g

Mass of sodium sulfate = [(2\times 22.99)+32.07+(4\times 16)]=142.05g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Mass percent of sodium}=\frac{45.98g}{142.05}\times 100=32.37\%

Hence, the mass percent of sodium in sodium sulfate is 32.37%.

When a compound such as X2Z4 is created, what would be the<br> correct simplified chemical formula?
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

XZ2

Explanation:

There are different ways in which compounds can be represented. Broadly, we have three different types of formula;

- Structural formular: This shows how th atoms in te compound are connected to each other.

- Molecular formular: This shows the actual number of atoms of element present in the compound

- Empirical Formular: This is the simplest formular of a compound. It basically shows the number of atoms in simple ration to each other.

This question requires us to input the empirical formular;

X2Z4

The ratio of the elements is; 2 : 4 which can be simplified into 1 : 2

This means the empirical formular is XZ2
