Question

calculate the mass solute and the mass solution when the mass solvent is 315.2g and the mass percent is 15.3 %.

Answer 1

mass of solute = 48.2 g

Mass of solution = 363.4 g

Step-by-step explanation

Given:

Mass of solvent = 315.2 g

mass percentage = 15.3 %

Required

mass of the solute

mass of the solution

Solution:

mass % = mass of solute/mass of solvent

15.3/100 = mass of solute/315.2 g

0.153 = mass of solute/315.2 g

mass of solute = 0.153 x 315.2

mass of solute = 48.2 g

Mass of solution = mass of solute + mass of solvent

Mass of solution = 48.2 g + 315.2 g

Mass of solution = 363.4 g
