Answer:
The weight percent of NaCl in the container is 21.5%
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of NaCl = 168.90 gram
Mass of water = 616.00 grams
We need to calculate the weight percent of NaCl in the container
Using formula of percentage of weight
[tex]weight\ \%\ of\ component\ of\ the\ solution =\dfrac{weight\ of\ the\ component\ in\ the\ solution}{total\ weight\ of\ the\ solution}\times100[/tex]
Put the value into the formula
[tex]weight\ \%\ of\ component\ of\ the\ solution =\dfrac{168.90}{168.90+616.00}\times100[/tex]
[tex]weight\ \%\ of\ component\ of\ the\ solution=21.5\%[/tex]
Hence, The weight percent of NaCl in the container is 21.5%
