X=240 g NaCl salt dissolves in solution.
Example: If we add 68 g sugar and 272 g water to 160 g solution having concentration 20 %, find final concentration of this solution.
Solution:
Mass of solution is 160 g before addition sugar and water.
100 g solution includes 20 g sugar
160 g solution includes X g sugar
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
X=32 g sugar
Mass of solute after addition=32 + 68=100 g sugar
Mass of solution after addition=272 +68 + 160=500 g
500 g solution includes 100 g sugar
100 g solution includes X g sugar
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
X= 20 % is concentration of final solution.
