Question

If the percent (mass/mass) for a solute is 8% and the mass of the solution is 200 g, what is the mass of solute in solution?

Answer 1

16 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass = 200g

Solute = MassX

X = percentage

X = 0.08

Solute = 200grams x 0.08 = 16 grams

Answer 2

The answer to your question is 16 g

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Percent by mass = 8%

Mass of the solution = 200 g

Mass of solute = ?

Formula

Percent by mass = mass of solute / mass of solution x 100

- Solve for mass of solute

Mass of solute = Percent by mass x mass of solution / 100

- Substitution

Mass of solute = 8 x 200 / 100

- Simplification

Mass of solute = 1600 / 100

- Result

Mass of solute = 16 g
