Question

a solution is made by dissolving 60 g of sodium chloride in 360g water? Find the mass percentage of the solution?​

Answer 1

ANSWER:

The Mass% of the Solution is 15.00%

GIVEN:

Mass of solute (Sodium Chloride) = 60g

Mass of solvent (Water) = 360g

We know that,

Mass of a Solution = Mass of Solute + Mass of Solvent

= 60g + 360g

= 400g

∴ Mass% of the Solution

= $\frac{Mass\:of\:solute}{Mass\:of\:solution} *100$

$\frac{60}{400} *100$

Solving out this Equation, we get the Mass% of the Solution as 15.00%

Answer 2

Mass of solute (Sodium Chloride) = 60g

Mass of solvent (Water) = 360g

We know that,

Mass of a Solution = Mass of Solute + Mass of Solvent

= 60g + 360g

= 400g

∴ Mass% of the Solution

= 60/400*100

= 15%
