missed this? watch kcv: atomic theory, read section 2.3. you can click on the review link to access the section in your etext. two samples of sodium chloride are decomposed into their constituent elements. one sample produces 15.3 g of sodium and 212 g of chlorine, and the other sample produces 11.5 g of sodium and 101 g of chlorine. part a part b show why not by calculating the mass ratio for each sample. express your answers to three significant figures separated by a comma. mass ratio of cl to na in sample 1, in sample 2 =

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate ratio for sample 1

$\frac{212}{15.3}\approx13.9$

Step2: Calculate ratio for sample 2

$\frac{101}{11.5}\approx8.78$

Answer:

13.9, 8.78
