A solution is made by dissolving 4.87 g of potassium nitrate in water to a final volume of 86.4 mL solution. What is the weight/

weight % or percent by mass of the solute? (I got 5.64% but it said it was incorrect, and I can't figure it out?)

Answer:

A solution is made by dissolving 4.87 g of potassium nitrate in water to a final volume of 86.4 mL solution. The weight/weight % or percent by mass of the solute is :

<u>2.67%</u>

Explanation:

Note : Look at the density of potassium nitrate in water if given in the question.

<u><em>You are calculating </em></u><u><em>weight /Volume</em></u><u><em> not weight/weight % or percent by mass of the solute</em></u>

Here the <u>weight/weight % or percent by mass</u> of the solute is asked : So first convert the<u> VOLUME OF SOLUTION into MASS</u>

Density of potassium nitrate in water KNO3 = 2.11 g/mL

density=\frac{mass}{volume}

Density = 2.11 g/mL

Volume of solution = 86.4 mL

2.11=\frac{mass}{86.4}

mass = 2.11\times 86.4

mass=182.3grams

Mass of Solute = 4.87 g

Mass of Solution = 183.2 g

w/w% of the solute =

= \frac{mass\ of\ solute}{mass\ of\ solution}\times 100

=\frac{4.87}{183.2}\times 100

w/w%=2.67%

Which of the following is equal to 3.3mm3? A) 3.3 x 10^-6 m^3 B) 3.3 x 10^-9 m^3 C) 3.3 x 10^-6 cm^3 D) 3.3 x 10^-9 cm^3
vazorg [7]
Step 1 - Since 3.3mm^3 = 0.0033cm^3, convert that to 3.3x10^-3 cm^3.

Step 2 - Since 1cm^3 = 1x10^-6 m^3, times 3.3 by that. (3.3 x 1 x 10^-6) = 0.0000033

Step 3 - 0.0000033 = 3.3 x 10 ^-6 m^3, which is your answer choice A.
