The concentration of salt solution on terms of mass by mass percentage is 20°/. and of the solution is 550 grams.Determine the mass of solute present in the solution.
Answers
Mass by mass percentage = 20%
Mass of solution= 550gram
Mass of solute/mass of solution multipled by 100
Therefore, 20/100 = 1/5
Hence, Mass of solute=Mass of solution/5
= 550gram/5
= 110Gram
Therefore, The mass of solute is 110gm
Given,
The concentration of the salt solution in terms of mass by mass percentage = 20%
Mass of the solution = 550 grams
To find,
The mass of the solute present in the solution.
Solution,
We can simply solve this numerical problem by using the following process:
Let us assume that the mass of the solute present in the solution is x grams.
Mathematically,
The concentration of a solution in terms of mass by mass percentage
= (mass of the solute)/(mass of the solution) × 100
Now, according to the question;
The concentration of the given solution in terms of mass by mass percentage = 20%
=> (mass of the solute)/(mass of the solution) × 100 = 20%
=> (x grams)/(550 grams) × 100 = 20%
=> x = (20/100×550) grams
=> x = 110 grams
Hence, 110 grams of solute are present in the solution.
