To make a saturated solution 50 g of sodium chloride is
dissolved in 150 g of water at 293 K. Find its mass
percentage at this temperature.
Answers
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.
Explanation:
Mass of sodium chloride (Solute) = 36gm
Mass of water (solvent) = 100 gm
Mass of solution = 36+100
∴ Mass of solution = 136 gm
Concentration = (Mass of Solute / Mass of Solution) * 100
Concentration = (36/136) × 100
Concentration = 26.47%
Explanation:
As per the given calculation, the concentration of this saturated solution at this temperature=26.47%.
