Answer:
A solution is made by dissolving 4.87 g of potassium nitrate in water to a final volume of 86.4 mL solution. The weight/weight % or percent by mass of the solute is :
<u>2.67%</u>
Explanation:
Note : Look at the density of potassium nitrate in water if given in the question.
<u><em>You are calculating </em></u><u><em>weight /Volume</em></u><u><em> not weight/weight % or percent by mass of the solute</em></u>
Here the <u>weight/weight % or percent by mass</u> of the solute is asked : So first convert the<u> VOLUME OF SOLUTION into MASS</u>
Density of potassium nitrate in water KNO3 = 2.11 g/mL

Density = 2.11 g/mL
Volume of solution = 86.4 mL



Mass of Solute = 4.87 g
Mass of Solution = 183.2 g
w/w% of the solute =


w/w%=2.67%
I would say "Greek myths"
When atoms bond together to form molecules, they share or give electrons. If the electrons are shared equally by the atoms, then there is no resulting charge and the molecule is nonpolar.
