The term "solution" is more frequently used when a homogeneous mixture<span> is a liquid, although it is sometimes used if the </span>homogeneous mixture<span> is a gas.</span>
Answer:
5.66 %.
Explanation:
<em>mass percent is the ratio of the mass of the solute to the mass of the solution multiplied by 100.</em>
<em />
<em>mass % = (mass of solute/mass of solution) x 100.</em>
<em></em>
mass of potassium nitrite = 30.0 g,
mass of the solution = mass of water + mass of potassium nitrite = 500.0 g + 30.0 g = 530.0 g.
<em>∴ mass % = (mass of solute/mass of solution) x 100</em> = (30.0 g/530.0 g) x 100 = <em>5.66 %.</em>
