Question

A 81 gram solution of silver nitrate contains

16 grams of AgNO3. What is the percent by
mass of silver nitrate in this solution?
Answer in units of %.

Answer 1

19.75 %

Step-by-step explanation:

The percent by mass of silver nitrate in the solution can be calculated using the following formula:

• % AgNO₃ = Mass of AgNO₃ / Mass of solution * 100%

As all the required data is already given by the problem, we can now proceed to calculate the percent by mass:

• % AgNO₃ = 16 g / 81 g * 100 %

• % AgNO₃ = 19.75 %
