Question

A solution is prepared by adding 5g of a substance X to 18g of water. Calculate the mass percent of the solute.​

Answer 1

$mass \: percent \: of \: x = \\ \frac{mass \: of \: x}{mass \: of \: solution} \times 100$

$= \frac{5g}{5g \: of \: x + 18g \: of \: water} \times 100$

$= 21.74\%$✔

Answer 2

Answer:

Mass percent of solute = 21.739

Explanation:

Mass percent of solute= mass of solute/mass of solutions * 100

Mass percent = 5/5+18*100

=5/23*100=21.739
