Calculate the relative atomic mass of sodium hydroxide (Na=23 O=16
H=1)
To calculate the relative atomic mass of sodium hydroxide (NaOH), we need to consider the atomic masses of each element and the number of atoms of each element in one molecule of sodium hydroxide.
Na = 23 (the atomic mass of sodium)
O = 16 (the atomic mass of oxygen)
H = 1 (the atomic mass of hydrogen)
In one molecule of sodium hydroxide (NaOH), we have one atom of sodium (Na), one atom of oxygen (O), and one atom of hydrogen (H).
Therefore, the relative atomic mass of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) can be calculated as follows:
(23 × 1) + (16 × 1) + (1 × 1) = 23 + 16 + 1 = 40
Thus, the relative atomic mass of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is 40.
To calculate the relative atomic mass of sodium hydroxide (NaOH), we need to consider the atomic masses of each of its constituent elements.
The atomic mass of sodium (Na) is 23, the atomic mass of oxygen (O) is 16, and the atomic mass of hydrogen (H) is 1.
The relative atomic mass of sodium hydroxide is calculated by adding up the atomic masses of each element in the compound.
Relative atomic mass of NaOH = (Atomic mass of Na) + (Atomic mass of O) + (Atomic mass of H)
= (23) + (16) + (1)
= 40
Therefore, the relative atomic mass of sodium hydroxide is 40.
