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 = 2.11 g/mL
Volume of solution = 86.4 mL



Mass of Solute = 4.87 g
Mass of Solution = 183.2 g
w/w% of the solute =


w/w%=2.67%
Yes they do if that was your question
The answer is A beautiful
In studying chemistry, one should learn how to read the periodic table and periodic trends in the table.. Of course, you should also know the abbreviations of each element in it so that you can identify what element is in chemical structures. Memorizing and knowing it by heart is the best way. You should also study what we call chemical nomenclature which is naming combinations of elements. Elements when combined may form ionic compounds, bonds or acids. Knowing what element reacts with another will also be necessary that's why the concept of chemical reactions must be further studied.
