Chapter SH, Problem 15.4APP

To determine

To calculate: Mass of remaining solution.

Answer to Problem 15.4APP

Mass of remaining solution is $\underset{\_}{\text{675 g}}$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Mass of first reactant = $\text{450 g}$

Mass of second reactant = $350\text{ g}$

Mass of a product = $125\text{ g}$

Calculation:

Total mass of reactants = $\text{450 g}+350\text{ g}=800\text{ g}$

According to law of conservation of mass,

Total mass of reactants = Total mass of products

Therefore, total mass of products = $\text{800 g}$

Mass of remaining solution is calculated as:

  $\begin{array}{l}\text{ Total mass}-\text{mass of a product}\\ =\text{800 g}-125\text{}\text{ g}\\ =\text{675 g}\end{array}$

Conclusion:

Mass of remaining solution is $\underset{\_}{\text{675 g}}$ .
