  • Chlorine Concentration in Sodium Chloride (NaCl): Calculation & Explanation
    Here's how to calculate the percent concentration of chlorine in sodium chloride (NaCl):

    1. Determine the molar masses:

    * Sodium (Na): 22.99 g/mol

    * Chlorine (Cl): 35.45 g/mol

    2. Calculate the molar mass of NaCl:

    * NaCl = 22.99 g/mol + 35.45 g/mol = 58.44 g/mol

    3. Calculate the mass percentage of chlorine:

    * (Mass of chlorine / Molar mass of NaCl) * 100%

    * (35.45 g/mol / 58.44 g/mol) * 100% = 60.66%

    Therefore, the percent concentration of chlorine in sodium chloride is approximately 60.66%.
