    I have a container which originally held 500 grams of what the label claims to be "finest table salt" - pretty much pure sodium chloride. Yet, out of every 100 grams in the container, only 39 grams are sodium. Since a molecule of table salt is made up of an equal number of sodium and chlorine atoms, this leads me to believe that chlorine is a much heavier element than sodium. Is that really true?

    Question #63027. Asked by Arpeggionist.

    		Chloride has an atomic weight of about 35.50 while Sodium's atomic weight is about 22.99.

    I have a question between HD Ready and HDTV, originally I was thinkg the image quality of a HD Ready will be equal to HDTV after a HD turner/receiver was installed.

Is that true?
