Question

1 ml of salt is added to 19ml of distilled water. What is the percentage of salt in the dilution?

Answer 1

0[(amount of salt)/(amount of solution)]*100= [1 mL/20 mL]* 100=5%

Answer 2

The percentage of salt in the solution is 5 %

Explanation:

To calculate the percentage of salt in solution, we use the equation:

$\text{Volume percent of salt in solution}=\frac{\text{Volume of salt}}{\text{Volume of solution}}\times 100$

Volume of salt (solute) = 1 mL

Volume of distilled water = 19 mL

Volume of solution = (1 + 19) mL = 20 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Volume percent of salt in solution}=\frac{1}{20}\times 100=5\%$
