Suppose you analyze a 35.9 g sample of bleach and determine that there are 3.86 g of sodium hypochlorite present. What is the percent of sodium hypochlorite in the bleach sample?

Answer :

Answer:

[tex]\%NaClO=10.8\%[/tex]

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the percent of any substance into a mixture containing it, is computed by dividing the mass of the substance and the mass of the whole mixture, for 3.86 g of pure sodium hypochloride (bleach's active component) dissolved in 35.9 g of bleach, the percent turns out:

[tex]\%NaClO =\frac{3.86g}{35.9g}*100\%\\\\\%NaClO=10.8\%[/tex]

Best regards!
