Question

An unknown mixture contains 3.6g of NaCl and 1.4g of SiO2. What is the % composition of this mixture?

Answer 1

@abb0t could you help me?

Answer 2

To get % composition we simply divide the quantity of one component by the total value for the mixture. Can you do that?

Answer 3

I'm not sure

Answer 4

Divide 1.4 from 5g?

Answer 5

Yes.

Answer 6

Assuming you have 100%,
if you know the percent of one, you know the percent of the other.
For instance, if you have \(\sf \frac{1.4}{5.0}\) = 0.28 x 100 = 28%
That means that the remaining must be SiO\(_2\). aND THERE YOU GO.

Answer 7

Oh thank you so much.
