Question

What is the percent by mass in a solution with 10.0 grams of solute and 25.0 grams of solvent?

Answer 1

Percent by mass of solute is (10/35) x 100 = 28.57%

Percent by mass of solvent is (25/35) x 100 = 71.43%

Step-by-step explanation:

10.0 grams of solute

25.0 grams of solvent

Total Mass = 35 grams

percent by mass = (Mass A / Total Mass) x 100

Percent by mass of solute is (10/35) x 100 = 28.57%

Percent by mass of solvent is (25/35) x 100 = 71.43%
