QUESTION:

A sample containing NaCl, \(\mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}\), and \(\mathrm{NaNO}_{3}\) gives the following elemental analysis: Na: 32.08 percent; O:36.01 percent; Cl: 19.51 percent. Calculate the mass percent of each compound in the sample.

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 6

The goal of the problem is to calculate the mass percent of each compound in the sample.

Given:

Percent of Na = 32.08%

Percent of O = 36.01% 

Percent of Cl = 19.51%

Let's assume there is 100 g of sample. Then,

Mass of Na = 32.08 g

Mass of O = 36.01 g

Mass of Cl = 19.51 g
