The mass % of a solution prepared by dissolving 18.9 grams of an unknown solid into 39.5 grams of water is calculated as below
%(M/M) = mass of the solute(unknown salt)/ mass of the solvent(water) x 100
= 18.9 g/ 39.5 g x100 =47.85% (M/M)
%(M/M) = mass of the solute(unknown salt)/ mass of the solvent(water) x 100
= 18.9 g/ 39.5 g x100 =47.85% (M/M)
Answer:
32.4%
Explanation:
Step 1: Given data
Mass of the solute = 18.9 g
Mass of the solvent = 39.5 g
Mass of the solution = Mass of the solute + Mass of the solvent = 58.4 g
Step 2: Calculate the mass percent of the solute in the solution
We use the following expression.
[tex]\% m/m =\frac{mass\ of\ the\ solute}{mass\ of\ the\ solution} \times 100\%=\frac{18.9g}{58.4g} \times 100\% =32.4\%[/tex]
