Question

What is the amount of solute required if the solution is 50 ml and the solvent is 35 ml. Solve and explain

Answer 1

Answer:

15 mL of the solute

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Solution = 50 mL

Solvent = 35 mL

Solute =?

Solution is simply defined as:

Solution = solute + solvent

With the above formula, we can easily obtain the solute in the solution as follow:

Solution = 50 mL

Solvent = 35 mL

Solute =?

Solution = solute + solvent.

50 = solute + 35

Collect like terms

50 – 35 = solute

15 = solute

Solute = 15 mL

Therefore, 15 mL of the solute is required.
