Question
**Problem Statement:**

Calculate the composition of each of the following solutions in mass/mass %. Be sure to answer all parts.

(a) 13.1 g NaCl in 1.00 x 10² g solution

\[ \Box \, \text{%} \]

(b) 13.1 g NaCl in 5.00 x 10² mL solution (\(d = 1.12 \, \text{g/mL}\))

\[ \Box \, \text{%} \]

**Instructions for Each Part:**

- For part (a), to find the mass/mass percentage, divide the mass of NaCl by the total mass of the solution and multiply by 100 to get the percentage.

- For part (b), first calculate the total mass of the solution by converting the volume to mass using the given density, then follow the same process as in part (a).

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given that:

  1. Mass of NaCl = 13.1 g, and
    Mass of solution = 1.00×102 g
  2. Mass of NaCl = 13.1 g,
    Volume of solution = 5.00×102 ml, and
    Density of solution, d = 1.12 g/ml.

 

To find: Mass/Mass percentage composition of solute in each solution.

Step 2

Mass/Mass percentage is given by below formula

Mass percentage=Mass of NaClSoluteMass of solution×100

Step 3

In part (a),

Substitute the mass of NaCl = 13.1 g and mass of solution = 1.00×102 g in above formula

Mass percentage=13.1 g1.00×102 g×100Mass percentage=13.1 %
