  • Calculating Percent Composition of Sodium Bromide (NaBr) - Step-by-Step
    Here's how to calculate the percent composition of sodium bromide (NaBr):

    1. Find the molar mass of each element:

    * Sodium (Na): 22.99 g/mol

    * Bromine (Br): 79.90 g/mol

    2. Calculate the molar mass of sodium bromide (NaBr):

    * Molar mass of NaBr = 22.99 g/mol + 79.90 g/mol = 102.89 g/mol

    3. Calculate the percent composition of each element:

    * Percent sodium (Na):

    (22.99 g/mol Na / 102.89 g/mol NaBr) x 100% = 22.34%

    * Percent bromine (Br):

    (79.90 g/mol Br / 102.89 g/mol NaBr) x 100% = 77.66%

    Therefore, the percent composition of sodium bromide is:

    * Sodium (Na): 22.34%

    * Bromine (Br): 77.66%
