Step-by-step explanation:

The mass of chlorine can be found by subtracting the mass of sodium from the mass of sodium chloride:

mass of chlorine = mass of sodium chloride - mass of sodium

mass of chlorine = 8.00g - 3.17g

mass of chlorine = 4.83g

Therefore, the mass of chlorine in this sample of sodium chloride is 4.83g.
