sodium hypochlorite (NaCIO) is the active ingredient in bleaching agents. What is the percentage composition of chlorine in NaCIO |
|
Answer» Molar mass of NaClO = 74.5 g Atomic mass of chlorine = 35.5 g/mol ∵ 1 mole of NaClO molecule contains = 1 mole of Cl atom ∴ 74.5 g of NaClO contains = 35.5 g, Cl atom ∴ Percentage composition of chlorine = 35.5/74.5 x 100 = 47.65% Hence, percentage composition of chlorine in NaClO will be 47.65%. |
