In sodium chloride what percentage is sodium?

In: Science, Chemistry, Elements and Compounds [Edit categories]

Answer:

In order to calculate the percentage of sodium in sodium chloride, you need to know the RAM of sodium and the RMM of sodium chloride.

RAM Na=23g
RMM NaCl=58.5g

Using the formula RAM/RMM * 100%, you get

23/58.8 * 100 =39.3%
