The FDA recommends that adults consume less than 2.4 g of sodium per day. How many grams of sodium chloride can you consume and still be within the FDA guidelines? Sodium chloride is 39% sodium by mass.   SORT   You are given the mass of sodium and the mass percent of sodium in sodium chloride. When mass percent is given, write it as a fraction. Percent means per hundred, so 39% sodium indicates that there are 39 g Na per 100 g NaCl. You are asked to find the mass of sodium chloride that contains the given mass of sodium.
