A freshman is currently enjoying the Arts Studio program she is pursuing at a well-known university. In her free time, she likes to skate, take salsa dance lessons, and cook. She particularly enjoys pickling and decides to pickle olives over a leisurely weekend. According to the recipe, she needs to add three teaspoons of salt to one cup of diced olives. However, she erroneously adds six teaspoons instead. Each teaspoon of salt weighs about 5g and contains about 2,300 mg 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.
2300 mg = 2.3 grams
6*2.3 grams = 13.8 grams
NaCl is table salt
Na+ ion and Cl- ion

A 40-year-old manager, at a prominent legal firm in L.A., experiences abdominal pain post lunch. He goes to the restroom a couple of times, but continues to experience pain and cramps. He eventually decides to get himself examined. While questioning him, you learn that he consumed two bottles of beer at lunch. The alcohol (ethyl alcohol/ethanol) content in a 12 oz. bottle of beer is about 5%. The man's weight is 150 lbs and he was drinking over an hour period.
State the chemical reaction that took place in the patient's body.
Identify the substance produced in the liver that helps catalyze this reaction.
To determine the amount of sodium that has actually been added, we need to calculate the weight of the salt added and then convert it to milligrams of sodium.
Given information:
- Each teaspoon of salt weighs about 5g.
- Each teaspoon of salt contains about 2,300mg of sodium.
- The student added 6 teaspoons of salt instead of the required 3 teaspoons.
First, let's calculate the weight of the salt added:
Weight of 6 teaspoons of salt = 6 teaspoons * 5g/teaspoon = 30g
Next, let's convert this weight to milligrams of sodium:
Amount of sodium in 30g of salt = 30g * (2,300mg of sodium/5g of salt)
= 13,800mg of sodium
Therefore, the amount of sodium that has actually been added is 13,800mg.
Now let's address the second part of your question regarding the chemical formula of salt and its bond classification:
The chemical formula for salt is NaCl.
Salt, also known as table salt or sodium chloride, consists of sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) atoms. The bond between these atoms is classified as an ionic bond.
In an ionic bond, one atom (in this case, sodium) donates an electron to another atom (chlorine), resulting in the formation of charged particles called ions. In the case of NaCl, sodium loses an electron to become a positively charged ion (Na+) while chlorine gains that electron and becomes a negatively charged ion (Cl-). These oppositely charged ions are then attracted to each other, forming the ionic bond in sodium chloride.
