Mass of salt needed : 48 g

Further explanation

The concentration of a substance can be expressed in several quantities such as moles, percent (%) weight/volume,), molarity, molality, parts per million (ppm) or mole fraction. The concentration shows the amount of solute in a unit of the amount of solvent.

A 600g 8% solution

m solution = 600 g

% mass = 8%


\tt \%mass=(mass~solute)/(mass~solution)* 100\%\\\\8\%=(mass~of~salt)/(600)* 100\%\\\\mass~of~salt=(8* 600)/(100)=48~g
