Two samples of sodium chloride with different masses were decomposed into their constituent elements. One sample produced 1.15g of sodium and 1.77 g of chlorine. Being consistent with the law of constant composition, also called the law of definite proportions or law of definite composition, which set of masses could be the result of the decomposition of the other sample?
a) 4.33 g of sodium and 6.67 g of chlorine
b) 4.33 g of sodium and 11.3 g of chlorine
c) 4.33 g of sodium and 2.17 g of chlorine
d) 4.33 g of sodium and 1.41 g of chlorine

explanation:

i think option no d is the correct answer

nacl or sodium chloride is an ionic compound. this is because an ionic compound pertains to a compound that consists of positively and negatively charged ions. in this case, na (sodium) has a tendency to lose one electron when it reacts with with other atoms, so the resulting sodium ion contains 11 protons and 10 electrons, thus making it positively charged (na+), when chlorine reacts, it usually gains one electron to form an ion called chloride, thus making it negatively charged ( since the ions are oppositely charged, they attract.

catya your not at all which answer i've seen you do this on another question!
