answer ,

W ( clay ) + w ( water ) + w ( impurity ) = 100gm

w ( clay ) + w ( impurity ) = 100 - 20 = 80 gm.

upon heating only weight of water decreases .

now 80 g = weight of sample after heating × 90 / 100

weight of sample after heating = 80 × 100 / 90.

= 800 /9

weight of silica = 800 / 9 × 50 / 100

% of silica in original sample = 400 / 9

= 44%

Answer:

W ( clay ) + w ( water ) + w ( impurity ) = 100gm

w ( clay ) + w ( impurity ) = 100 - 20 = 80 gm.

upon heating only weight of water decreases .

now 80 g = weight of sample after heating × 90 / 100

weight of sample after heating = 80 × 100 / 90.

= 800 /9

weight of silica = 800 / 9 × 50 / 100

% of silica in original sample = 400 / 9

= 44%
