Question

A solution containing 40 gram of common salt in 320 gram of water calculate the concentration in term of mass by mass percent of the solution

Answer 1

11.1111 is the answer

Answer 2

Hey there!

Given,

Mass (solute) = 40 gram

Mass (solvent) = 320 gram

Mass (solution) = Mass (solute) + Mass (solvent)

                        = 40 gram + 320 gram

                        = 360 gram

∴ Mass % (solution) = [ Mass (solute)/Mass (solvent)] × 100

                                = [40/360] × 100

                                = 11.1 %
