If we dissolve salt in water they will reduce the intermolecular forces between water molecule and this will decrease the surface tension.
Surface tension is due to cohesive forces (the forces between molecules of same substance) hence as cohesive forces decreases the surface tension also decreases
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 answer to this is Drinking Waer
