Question

Calculate the mass/volume percent, % (m/v) for the solute in each of the following solution60 g of Na2SO4 in 270 mL of Na2SO4 solution

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation

Given:

Mass of the solute = 60 g

Volume of the solution = 270 mL

Required: mass/volume %

Solution

To solve this problem: Percent (m/v) is the mass of solute divided by the volume of the solution, multiplied by 100 %.

Percent (m/v) = mass of solute volume of solution × 100 %

Percentage (m/v) = (60g/270 mL) x 100

Percentage (m/v) = 22.2%

Answer

% (m/v) = 22.2%
