Answer

mass of solvent = 190.0 g

Mass of solution = 212.8 g

Step-by-step explanation

Given:

Mass of solute = 22.8 g

mass percentage = 12.0%

Required

Mass of the solvent

Mass of the solution

Solution

mass % = (mass of solute/mass of solvent)*100

12/100 = (22.8g/mass of solvent)

0.12 = 22.8g/mass of solvent

mass of solvent = 22.8/0.12

mass of solvent = 190.0 g

Mass of the solution = mass of solute + mass of solvent

Mass of solution = 22.8 g + 190.0 g

Mass of solution = 212.8 g
