Question

Calculate the mass/volume percent (m/v) of 16.0 g NaCl in 50.0 mL of solution.Express your answer to three significant figures.

Answer 1

The mass/volume percent = 16/50 x 100% = 32%

Step-by-step explanation

Given:

Mass of NaCl, m = 16.0 g

Volume of solution, v = 50.0 mL

What to find:

The mass/volume percent.

Solution

The mass/volume percent of the solution can be calculated using the formula below

`Percent\text{ }mass\text{/}volume=(Mass)/(Volume)*100\%`

The mass/volume percent = 16/50 x 100% = 32%
