A 10 gram sample of NaCl will have the same percent composition (percent by mass) of Na and Cl than a 1 gram sample of NaCl.
Expert Solution
Step 1
Mass ratio of Na/Cl in 10 gram of NaCl
Molecular weight = 58.44 (g/mole)
Atomic weight of Na = 23.99 (g/mole)
Atomic weight of Cl = 35.45 (g/mole)
Moles of NaCl = 10 g/54.44 g/mole = 0.171115674 moles
1 mole of NaCl contains 1 mole of Na and 1 mole of Cl
0.171115674 moles contain 0.171115674 moles of Na and 0.171115674 moles of Cl
Mole ratio of Na/Cl = 0.171115674/0.171115674 = 1
Mass ratio of Na/Cl = mass of Na atoms/mass of Cl atoms
= [0.171115674 moles x 23.99 g/mole]/0.171115674 moles x 35.45 g/mole]
= 0.676728
