Question

calculate the mass percentage of benzene (C6H6) and corbon tetrachloride (CCI4) if 22g of benzene is dissolved in 122g of corbon tetrachloride. ​

Answer 1

Answer

☞ Your Answer is 15.28%

Given

✭ Mass of Benzene = 22g

✭ Mass of Carbon tetrachloride = 122 g

To Find

◈ Mass percentage of the solution?

Solution

So here we see that,

• Solute = Benzene
• Solvent = Tetrachloride

Mass percent of a solution is given by,

$\underline{\boxed{\tt Mass\% = \dfrac{Mass \ of \ solute}{Mass \ of \ solution}\times 100}}$

◕ Mass of solute is 22 g

◕ Mass of solution is given by,

➝ $\tt Mass \ of\ solute+Mass \ of \ solution$

➝ $\tt 22+122$

➝ $\tt \red{Mass \ of \ Solution = 144 \ g}$

So now substituting the values in the formula,

• Mass of Solute = 22g
• Mass of Solution = 144 g

$\tt :\implies Mass\% = \dfrac{Mass \ of \ solute}{Mass \ of \ solution}\times 100$

$\tt :\implies Mass\% = \dfrac{22}{144} \times 100$

$\tt :\implies\orange{Mass\% = 15.28 \%}$
