a freshmann is currently enjoying the arts studio program she is pursuing at a well know university. In her free time she likes to skate,take salsa dance lessons, and cook. She particularly enjoys and decides to pickle olives to the rescipe, she needs to add 3 teaspoons of salt to 1 cup of diced olives. However she erroneously adds 6 teaspoons instead. Each teaspoon of salt weighs about 5g and contains about 2,300mg of sodium.
Determine the amount of sodium that has been actually added,in grams.
State the chemical formula of salt and classify the bond as ionic, polar covalent, or non polar covalent.
a) amount of sodium=percentNa*6t*2300mgNa/t
b) NaCl is most definitely an ionic solid. How do I know that? Look up the characteristics of ionic solids.
could u plz give me alittle more help on the fist question.This is the proplem that is holding me back. I'd really appreciate your time and effort to answer this question
To determine the amount of sodium that has been actually added, we need to calculate the sodium content in 6 teaspoons of salt.
One teaspoon of salt weighs about 5g, so 6 teaspoons would weigh 6 * 5g = 30g.
Each teaspoon of salt contains about 2,300mg of sodium, so 6 teaspoons would contain 6 * 2,300mg = 13,800mg or 13.8g of sodium.
Therefore, the amount of sodium that has been actually added is 13.8 grams.
The chemical formula of salt is NaCl. It consists of one sodium atom (Na) and one chlorine atom (Cl).
The bond between sodium and chlorine in salt is an ionic bond. Ionic bonds form between a metal (sodium) and a non-metal (chlorine), and they involve the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of charged ions. In the case of NaCl, sodium donates an electron to chlorine, resulting in the formation of Na+ (sodium ion) and Cl- (chloride ion).
