Question

Calculate the number of grams of solute in a 15.0% m/m aqueous solution of NaCl with a total volume of 1000 mL. The density of water is 1.00 g/mL

Expert Solution

Step 1

Mass by mass percentage (m/m)

When mass of solute in a solution is expressed in grams of solute in 100 g of solution multiplying by 100 % then it is known as mass by mass percentage of a solution.

Formula of mass by mass percentage of a solution is as follows:

$Mass by Mass % = \frac{Mass of solute (g)}{Mass of solution (g)} \times 100 %$

Rearrange the above expression for mass of solute.

$Mass of solute (g) = \frac{(Mass by mass %) (Mass of solution (g))}{100 %}$ …… (1)
