PLS HELP. What is the percent of sodium in sodium hydroxide?
%Na = 54.5 %

How many grams of sodium are there in 48.5 g of sodium hydroxide?

gr of Na in sodium hydroxide

1. 57.5%

2. 27.89 g

Explanation:

1. Determination of the percentage of sodium in sodium hydroxide.

Molar mass of NaOH = 23 + 16 + 1 = 40 g/mol

Mass of Na in NaOH = 23 g

Percentage of Na = mass of Na / Molar mass of NaOH × 100

Percentage of Na = 23/40 × 100

Percentage of Na = 57.5%

2. Determination of the mass of sodium in 48.5 g of sodium hydroxide.

Molar mass of NaOH = 23 + 16 + 1 = 40 g/mol

Mass of Na in NaOH = 23 g

Total mass of NaOH = 48.5 g

Mass composition of Na = mass of Na / Molar mass of NaOH × Total mass

Mass composition of Na = 23/40 × 48.5

Mass composition of Na = 27.89 g

c. because step up transformer steps up the input voltage i.e increases the input voltage  

the number of turns are greater on the secondary side of step up transformer  

transformer does not handle dc current
