Answer:
The percent by mass of 3.55 g NaCl dissolved in 88 g water is 3.88%
Explanation:
When a solute dissolves in a solvent, the mass of the resulting solution is a sum of the mass of the solute and the solvent.
A percentage is a way of expressing a quantity as a fraction of 100. In this case, the percentage by mass of a solution is the number of grams of solute per 100 grams of solution and can be represented mathematically as:
In this way it allows to precisely establish the concentration of solutions and express them in terms of percentages.
In this case:
- mass of solute: 3.55 g
- mass of solution: 3.55 g + 88 g= 91.55 g
Replacing:
Percent by mass= 3.88%
<u><em>The percent by mass of 3.55 g NaCl dissolved in 88 g water is 3.88%</em></u>

Answer:
2.5 % butane, 42.2 % pentane and 55.3 % hexane
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, the mass balance for each substance is given by:
Whereas accounts for the fractions at the outlet distillate and
for the fractions at the outlet bottoms. Moreover, with the 90 % recovery of butane, we can write:
So we can compute the product of the molar fraction of butane at the distillate by total distillate flow by assuming a 100-mol feed:
The total distillate flow:
And the total bottoms flow:
Next, by using the mass balance of butane, we compute the molar fraction of butane at the bottoms:
Then, the molar fraction of pentane and hexane:
Therefore, the molar composition of the bottom product is 2.5 % butane, 42.2 % pentane and 55.3 % hexane.
NOTE: notice the result is independent of the value of the assumed feed, it means that no matter the basis, the compositions will be the same for the same recovery of butane at the feed, only the flows will change.
Regards.
