Chapter 15, Problem 24QAP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The grams of $\text{KBr}$ that are contained in $125\text{g}$ of a $6.25\text{\%}$

$\text{KBr}$ solution is to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Solution may be defined as the mixture of a minor component which is known as solute and the major component that is known as solvent. The solute is uniformly distributed in the solvent.

Mass percentage is defined as the total mass of solute divided by the total mass of the solution, multiplied by $100$ to get the percentage. The formula for the same is,

$\text{Mass}\text{\%}=\frac{\text{mass}\text{of}\text{solute}\left(\text{g}\right)}{\text{mass}\text{of}\text{the}\text{solution}\left(\text{g}\right)}\times 100$.
