A 100-gram sample of sodium chloride (NaCl) consists of 60.66 g of chlorine and 39.34 g of sodium. What mass of sodium would make up a 150-gram sample of sodium chloride?

89.34 g

39.34 g

59.01 g

64.24 g

Verified Answer :

The ratios would remain the same for both elements, so it would be 1.5 times the mass of sodium in 100 grams.
1.5 * 39.34 grams Na = 59.01 grams Na

Answer:

59.01 grams is the mass of sodium would make up a 150-gram sample of sodium chloride.

Explanation:

Mass of sodium in 100 grams of NaCl contains = 39.34 g

Mass of sodium in 1 grams of NaCl = \(\frac{39.34 g}{100 }=0.3934 g\)

Mass of sodium in 150 grams of NaCl:

\(150 \times 0.3934 g=59.01 g\)

59.01 grams is the mass of sodium would make up a 150-gram sample of sodium chloride.
