calculate the percent by mass of 4.35 g of NaCl dissolved in 105 g of water

Sagot :

Answer:

3.90

Explanation:

Given: 4.35 g (mass of solute)

           105 g (mass of solvent)

Required: percent by mass

Formula: % by mass = [tex]\frac{mass of solute}{mass of solution}[/tex] × 100

Solution: % by mass = [tex]\frac{4.35}{(4.35 + 105)}[/tex]

                % by mass = [tex]\frac{4.35}{109.35}[/tex] × 100

                % by mass = 0.039 × 100

                % by mass = 3.90
