In which compound the mass fraction of aluminum is greater, in cryolite Na3AIF6 or in sodium aluminate NaAIO2.

Let’s calculate the mass fraction of aluminum in cryolite:
Mr (Na3AlF6) = 23 * 3 + 27 + 6 * 19 = 210 g / mol;

ω (Al) = 27/210 = 0.129;

Let’s calculate the mass fraction of aluminum in the aluminate:
Mr (NaAlO2) = 23 + 27 + 16 * 2 = 82 g / mol;

ω (Al) = 27/82 = 0.329;

Answer: the mass fraction of aluminum is greater in sodium aluminate.
