Question

a solution is made containing 4.6 g of potassium chloride per 64.0 of water. What is the weight/weight % of the solute?

Answer 1

Answer: 6.71

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

6.71%

Step-by-step explanation:

The total mass of the solution is mass of solute + mass of solvent

4.6g + 64.0g = 68.6g

% weight of the solute can be calculated thus,

`(4.6)/(68.6)` ×
`(100)/(1)`

=
`(460)/(68.6)`

= 6.71

The % weight of the solute is 6.71%
