Question

2. A solution contains 40 g of common salt in 320 g of water. What is the weight of solute, solvent and solution in this case?

Answer 1

Answer:

Weight of solute (common salt) - 40g

Weight of solvent (water) - 320g

Weight of solution (salt solution) -360g

Explanation:

Given- weight of common salt - 40g

weight of water- 320g

To find- Weight of solute, solvent and solution

Concept-

1. Solute - The substance which is present in smaller amounts in the solution is called solute.
2. Solvent- The substance which is present is large quantity in a solution is called solvent.
3. Solution- It is a mixture of solute and solvent.

Here, common salt is the solute, water is the solvent and common salt solution is formed from them.

So,

weight of solute is 40g

weight of solute is 40g weight of solvent is 320g

weight of solute is 40g weight of solvent is 320g weight of solution( 40+ 320) is 360g
