Question

two samples of sodium chloride were decomposed into their constitutent elements. Question 2 of 30 Sapling Learning Two samples of sodium chloride were decomposed into their constituent elements. One sample produced 2.12 g of sodium and 3.26 g of chlorine. Which of the following could be the results of the decomposition of the other sample, being consistent with the law of constant composition (also called the law of definite proportions or law of definite composition)? O O O O 3.97 g of sodium and 1.12 g of chlorine 3.97 g of sodium and 6.11 g of chlorine 3.97 g of sodium and 3.57 g of chlorine 3.97 g of sodium and 10.3 g of chlorine O Next a Exit Check Answer Previous Give Up & View Solution Hint

Explanation / Answer

Correct answer is second option : 3.97 g of sodium and 6.11 g of chlorine

Explanation

For first sample, 2.12 g of sodium and 3.26 of chlorine was obtained

mass of sodium / mass of chlorine = 2.12 g / 3.26 g = 0.650

This ratio should be constant for all samples of NaCl

Only option 2 satisfies this condition
