The U.S Food and drug administration recommends that you consume less than 2.4 g of sodium per day. How much sodium chloride can you consume and still be within the FDA limit?

Find the number of moles of oxygen in the following.  0.35 mol NO4

Expert Solution
Step 1

The maximum limit of sodium is  according to US FDA = 2.4 g/day.

In order to equate the amount of sodium with that of sodium chloride is by equating the moles of both sodium and sodium chloride.

Formula of sodium chloride is NaCl.

1 mole of sodium chloride contains 1 mole of sodium.

Therefore, the mass of sodium for daily intake limit is converted to moles and equated with that of sodium chloride.
