Question

chemistry student needs of thiophene for an experiment. She has available of a w/w solution of thiophene in carbon tetrachloride. Calculate the mass of solution the student should use. If there's not enough solution, press the "No solution" button.

Answer 1

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

A chemistry student needs 75 g of thiophene foran experiment. He has available 0.50 kg of a 29.3% w/w solution of thiophene in carbon tetrachloride.

Calculate the mass of solution the student should use. If there's not enough solution, press the "No solution" button.

Answer: The mass of solution the student should use is 255.97 grams

Explanation:

We are given:

Mass of thiophene needed = 75 gram

29.3 % w/w thiophene solution

This means that 29.3 grams of thiophene is present in 100 grams of solution

Applying unitary method:

If 29.3 grams of thiophene is present in 100 grams of solution

So, 75 grams of thiophene will be present in = $\frac{100}{29.3}\times 75=255.97g$

Given amount of solution = 0.50 kg = 500 grams   (Conversion factor:  1 kg = 1000 g)

Hence, the mass of solution the student should use is 255.97 grams
