Chapter 8.5, Problem 3QQ

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The total mass of solution has to be determined if percent-by-mass concentration of a solution containing $\text{2}\text{.0}\text{g}\text{of}\text{NaCl}$ is $\text{2}\text{\%}$ .

Concept Introduction:

Percentage by mass: ratio of amount of solute to amount of solution and multiplied with $\text{100}$.

  $\text{percent}\text{by}\text{mass}\text{=}\frac{\text{amount}\text{of}\text{solute}}{\text{amount}\text{of}\text{solute}\text{+}\text{amount}\text{of}\text{solvent}}\text{×}\text{100\%}$
