Question

g Calculate the mass percent of sodium bicarbonate in the solution that has 7.00 g of solution and 0.052 Kg of water.

Answer 1

11.86%

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we convert both solvent and solute to the same unit, say, kg. We have.

Mass of Sodium Bicarbonate = 7g = 7/1000 kg = 0.007 kg

Mass of water = 0.052 kg.

Formula for the mass percent is

% of sodium bicarbonate = [(mass of sodium bicarbonate) / (mass of total solution) * 100%]

Total mass of solution = 0.007 + 0.052 Total mass of solution = 0.059

% of sodium bicarbonate = 0.007 / 0.059 * 100%

% of sodium bicarbonate = 11.86%

Therefore, the mass percent of sodium bicarbonate I'm the solution is 11.86%
