Ashtyn Hunt · Answer 1

We may say sodium sulfate is 32.37% sodium, 22.57% sulfur, and 45.06% oxygen; or, 32.37% sodium and 67.63% sulfate. The total is 100% in either case. We now have two sets of numbers which show mass relationships among the elements in sodium sulfate: (1) the formula mass and (2) the percentage composition.
