Chapter 13, Problem 48E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The density of the solution is to be calculated.

Concept Introduction: Mass percent is defined as the product of the ratio of the mass of solute to the mass of solution and hundred. It is expressed as follows:

$\text{Mass percent}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute }}{\text{Mass of solute}+\text{Mass of solvent}}\times 100\%$

The density of a substance is equal to the ratio of mass and volume of a solution.

The relation between mass $\left(m\right)$, volume $\left(V\right)$, and density $\left(d\right)$ of a solution is:

$d=\frac{m}{V}$

The formula for molarity $\left(\text{M}\right)$ of a solution is:

$\text{M}=\frac{\text{moles solute}}{\text{Liters solution}}$
