To determine the amount of sodium chloride  NaCl  that can be obtained from the 5 grams of sea salt, you can use the given percentage of NaCl in the sample.Since the percentage of NaCl in the sea salt sample is 85%, you can calculate the amount of NaCl by multiplying the total weight of the sample  5 grams  by the percentage of NaCl  85% .Amount of NaCl =  5 grams  x  85%  =  5 grams  x  0.85  = 4.25 gramsSo, 4.25 grams of sodium chloride  NaCl  can be obtained from the 5 grams of sea salt sample using gravimetric analysis.
