To make a saturated solution, 36g of sodium chloride is dissolved in 100 g of water at 293 K. Find its concentration at this temperature.
Answers
Mass of solute (NaCl) = 36 g
Mass of solvent (H2O) = 100 g
Mass of solution (NaCl + H2O) = 136 g
Concentration = Mass of solute/Mass of solution x 100
Concentration = 36/136 x 100 = 26.47%
Hence, the concentration of the solution is 26.47%
Answer:
Mass per cent is a way of expressing a concentration or describing the component in a particular mixture. The solution composition can be expressed in mass percentage that depicts the mass of solute present in a given mass of solution.
The quantity of solute is expressed in mass or by moles. For a solution, the mass per cent is described as the grams of solute per grams of solution, multiplied by 100 to get the percentage.
Solution
Concentration
Mass of sodium chloride (Solute) = 36gm
Mass of water (solvent) = 100 gm
Mass of solution = 36+100 = 136 gm
Concentration = (Mass of Solute / Mass of Solution) * 100
Concentration = (36/136)*100 = 26.47%
