The total mass of a solution is 2670 g. The solvent mass is 2150 g. What is the mass percent, %(w/w), of the solute?
The total mass of a solution is 2670 g.
The solvent mass is 2150 g
The mass of solute = The total mass of a solution-The solvent mass
= 2670-2150 = 520g
The mass percentage of solute = mass of solute *100/total mass of solution
= 520*100/2670 = 19.5%
