Calculate the percentage of sodium in sodium aluminium fluoride (Na3AlF6) correct to the nearest whole number.
(F= 19,Na = 23,Al = 27).
The correct option is
C
33 %
Molecularmassofsodiumaluminiumfluoride(Na3AlF6)=3×23+27+6×19=69+27+114=210
Molecularmassofsodiumaluminiumfluoride=210grams
Amountofsodiumin210gramsofsodiumaluminiumfluoride=69gram
Percentageofsodiuminsodiumaluminiumfluoride=69210×100=32.85%or33%
