Question

A solution is made containing 4.6 g of sodium chloride per 250g of water.

Answer 1

Answer:

$\large \boxed{1.81 \, \%}$

Explanation:

$\text{Mass percent} = \dfrac{\text{mass of solute} }{\text{mass of solution}} \times 100 \, \%$

Data:

Mass of NaCl =      4.6 g

Mass of water = 250    g

Calculations:

Mass of solution = mass of NaCl + mass of water = 4.6 g + 250 g = 254.6 g.

$\text{\% m/m} = \dfrac{\text{4.6 g} }{\text{254.6 g}} \times 100 \, \% = \mathbf{1.81 \, \%}\\\\\text{The percent by mass of NaCl is \large \boxed{\mathbf{1.81 \, \%}} }$
