Answer:

grams of solution = 551.98 g

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Percentage of solution = 32.9

Mass of solute = 181.6 g

Grams of solvent = ?

Solution:

Formula:

% = [grams of solute / grams of solution] × 100

Now we will put the values in formula.

32.9 = [ 181.6 g / grams of solution] × 100

grams of solution = 181.6 g × 100 / 32.9

grams of solution = 18160 g /32.9

grams of solution = 551.98 g
