Answer:
The percent by mass of 3.55 g NaCl dissolved in 88 g water is 3.88%
Explanation:
When a solute dissolves in a solvent, the mass of the resulting solution is a sum of the mass of the solute and the solvent.
A percentage is a way of expressing a quantity as a fraction of 100. In this case, the percentage by mass of a solution is the number of grams of solute per 100 grams of solution and can be represented mathematically as:

In this way it allows to precisely establish the concentration of solutions and express them in terms of percentages.
In this case:
- mass of solute: 3.55 g
- mass of solution: 3.55 g + 88 g= 91.55 g
Replacing:

Percent by mass= 3.88%
<u><em>The percent by mass of 3.55 g NaCl dissolved in 88 g water is 3.88%</em></u>

Answer:
(edit: nvm I figured it out, here is the answer)
Explanation:
Basis of the calculation: 100g
For Carbon:
Mass of carbon = (100 g)(0.80) = 80 g
Number of moles of carbon = (80 g)(1 mole / 12g) = 20/3
For Hydrogen:
Mass of hydrogen = (100 g)(0.20) = 20 g
Number of moles of hydrogen = (20 g)(1 mole / 1 g) = 20
Translating the answer to the formula of the substance,
C20/3H20
Dividing the answer,
CH3
The molar mass of the empirical formula is:
12 + 3 = 15 g/mol
Since, the molar mass given for the molecular formula is 30.069 g/mol, the molecular equation is,
C2H6
ANSWER: C2H6
