What is the percent by mass of 5g of salt dissolve in 75g of water . show your solution
Answer (1)
SolutionTo find the percent by mass, we need to calculate the total mass of the solution and then divide the mass of the solute (salt) by the total mass.### Step 1: Calculate the total mass of the solutionTotal mass = mass of salt + mass of waterTotal mass = 5g + 75gTotal mass = 80g### Step 2: Calculate the percent by mass of saltPercent by mass = (mass of salt / total mass) × 100Percent by mass = (5g / 80g) × 100Percent by mass = 6.25%## Final AnswerThe percent by mass of salt in the solution is 6.25%.$$\boxed{6.25%}$$Let me know if you have any questions or if you'd like to explore similar problems!
