Answer : The percent-by-mass concentration of acetic acid is, 5.15 %
Explanation : Given,
Mass of acetic acid = 51.80 g
Density of solution = 1.005 g/ml
Volume of solution = 1.000 L = 1000 ml (1 L = 1000 ml)
First we have to calculate the mass of solution.


Now we have to calculate the percent-by-mass concentration of acetic acid.

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:

Therefore, the percent-by-mass concentration of acetic acid is, 5.15 %
B. examining the number of chromosomes in population
Your balanced equation for this reaction is:
HCOOH (aq) + H2O (aq) → HCOO- (aq) + H3O+ (aq)
So from the reaction, we can see when formic acid dissolved in water so H3O+ ions will be formed.
and we can see that it is a balanced equation as:
we have H atoms = 4 on both sides of the reaction
and C atoms = 1 atom on both sides of the reaction
and O atoms = 3 atoms on both sides of the reaction
So it is our final balanced equation of the reaction.
