Question

You have 150. g of a bleach solution. The percent by mass of the solute, sodium hypochlorite (NaOCI), is 3.62%.

How many grams of NaOCI are in the solution?

Answer 1

There are 5.43 grams of NaOCl

Step-by-step explanation:

The given percent by mass of the solute tells us that out of the 150 g of the solution, 3.62% are due solely to the solute.

In other words, the mass of the solute in the solution is:

• 150 g * 3.62/100 = 5.43 g

Thus, in 150 grams of the given bleach solution, there are 5.43 grams of sodium hypochlorite.
