Chapter 0, Problem 43POT

To determine

Percent of saline in pure solution.

Answer to Problem 43POT

Percent of saline in pure solution $\text{=16}\%$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Quantity of saline: 24 millilitres

Quantity of pure solution: 150 millilitres

Formula used:

  $\text{Percentage}=\frac{\text{Value}}{\text{Total value}}\times 100$

Quantity of saline: 24 millilitres

Quantity of pure solution: 150 millilitres

  $\begin{array}{l}\text{Percentage}=\frac{\text{Quantity of Saline}}{\text{Quantity of pure solution}}\times 100\\ \\ \text{Percentage}=\frac{24}{\begin{array}{l}150\\ \end{array}}\times 100\\ \text{Percentage=16}\%\end{array}$
