Calculate the percentage of sodium in sodium aluminium fluoride (Na3AlF) correct to the nearest whole number.
(F= 19; Na= 23; Al=27)
Step 1: Write the given terms:
F= 19g Na= 23g Al=27g
Step 2: Find the percentage:
Molar mass of Na3AlF= (3x23) + 27 + (6x19) = 210 gm
Now, percentage of Na= 69g x = 33%
Step 3: Result:
Hence, the percentage of Na in Na3AlF is 33%
