Answer:

578mL is the volume you need to dissolve the mass of KBr

Step-by-step explanation:

The percent by mass volume, % (w/v) is defined as the ratio between mass of solute in grams and volume of the solution in mililiters times 100. The formula is:

% (w/v) = mass solute (g) / volume solution (mL) × 100

As you want a solution 8.48% and the solute is 49.0g of KBr:

8.48% = 49.0 (g) / volume solution (mL) × 100

Volume solution = 578mL is the volume you need to dissolve the mass of KBr
