Answer:
b. 760 g
Explanation:
The mass of the solution = 800 g
5% of NaCl by mass of the solution can be determined as follows;
5% of 800 = × 800
= 5 × 8
= 40 g
The mass of NaCl in the solution is 40 g.
The mass of water = mass of solution - mass of NaCl
= 800 - 40
= 760 g
Therefore, the mass of water required is 760 g.
Answer:
49.4 g Solution
Explanation:
There is some info missing. I think this is the original question.
<em>A chemistry student needs 20.0g of acetic acid for an experiment. He has 400.g available of a 40.5 % w/w solution of acetic acid in acetone. </em>
<em> Calculate the mass of solution the student should use. If there's not enough solution, press the "No solution" button. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.</em>

We have 400 g of solution and there are 40.5 g of solute (acetic acid) per 100 grams of solution. We can use this info to find the mass of acetic acid in the solution.
Since we only need 20.0 g of acetic acid, there is enough of it in the solution. The mass of solution that contains 20.0 g of solute is:
