Answer:
13.687 grams of salt should be added
The total grams of 8.6% of brine solution produced is 852.687g
Explanation:
Solution mass= 962g
Salt= 6.2%
Water = 93.8%
962 gram of water is made up of:
902.356g ( due to vaporization which reduces mass)
= 902.356 - 123
= 779. 356g of water
59.644g of salt.
If we add x gram of salt for making brine solution up to 8.6%
=(59. 644g + x)g.of salt
% salt = Mass of Salt / Total mass of solution
= 0.086= 59.644 + x / 779.356 + 59.644 + x
= 59.644 + x / 839 + x
x= 13.687 g of salt
Grams of 8.6% brine solution will be:
Gram of water + total gram of salt added to form 8.6% brine solution.
= 779.356g +59.644g + 13.687g
= 852.687g
The total grams of 8.6% of brine solution produced is 852.687g
