Question

You are working in the lab, how many grams of solute you need to make 200.0 g of 3.4% of solution?

Answer 1

6.8g of solute are needed

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent by mass, (w/w%) is defined as the mass of solute in 100g of solution. A solution that is 3.4% contains 3.4g of solute in 100g of solution. That means to make 200g of solution are required:

200g solution * (3.4g solute / 100g solution) = 6.8g of solute are needed
