Question:
A chemistry student needs of 10 g isopropenylbenzene for an experiment. He has available 120 g of a 42.7% w/w solution of isopropenylbenzene in acetone. Calculate the mass of solution the student should use. If there's not enough solution, press the "No solution" button.
Answer:
The answer to the question is as follows
The mass of solution the student should use is 23.42 g.
Explanation:
To solve the question we note the following
A solution containing 42.7 % w/w of isopropenylbenzene in acetone has 42.7 g of isopropenylbenzene in 100 grams of the solution
Therefore we have 10 g of isopropenylbenzene contained in
100 g * 10 g/ 42.7 g = 23.42 g of solution
Available solution = 120 g
Therefore the quantity to used from the available solution = 23.42 g of the isopropenylbenzene in acetone solution.
