    Moles (mol) = mass (g) / molar mass (g/mol)

    Mass of NaCl = 21.7 g

    Molar mass of NaCl = 58.4 g/mol

    Hence, moles of NaCl = 21.7 g / 58.4 g/mol = 0.372 mol

    Hence moles of NaCl in the mixture is 0.372 mol.

    Let's assume that mixture has only given compounds and free of impurities.

    Then, we can present this as a mole percentage.

    mole % = (moles of desired substance / Total moles of the mixture) x 100%

    Hence,

    mole % of NaCl = (moles of NaCl / Total moles of the mixture) x 100%

    Total moles of mixture = moles of NaCl + KCl + LiCl

    Mass of KCl = 3.74 g

    Molar mass of NaCl = 74.6 g/mol

    Hence, moles of NaCl = 3.74 g / 74.6 g/mol = 0.050 mol

    Mass of NaCl = 9.76 g

    Molar mass of NaCl = 42.4 g/mol

    Hence, moles of NaCl = 9.76 g / 42.4 g/mol = 0.230 mol

    Total moles = 0.372 mol + 0.050 mol + 0.230 mol = 0.652 mol

    mole % of NaCl = (moles of NaCl / Total moles of the mixture) x 100%

    = (0.372 mol / 0.652 mol) x 100%

    = 57.06%

    Hence, mixture has 57.06% of NaCl as the mole percentage.
