How do I calculate #6 the saturated NaCl solution and #7 the mass of sodium chloride from the information below?
1. Mass of evaporating dish: 54.3184g
2. Mass of dish and sodium chloride: 61.1048g
3. Mass of dish and sodium chloride (1st heating): 56.0387g
4. Mass of dish and sodium chloride (2nd heating): 56.0293g
5. Mass of dish and sodium chloride (3rd heating if necessary): N/A
6. Mass of saturated sodium chloride solution: ___
7. Mass of sodium chloride: ___
Also, can you please confirm that the following formulas are correct?
Mass % of NaCl in saturated solution: mass% = [(mass of NaCl) / (mass of NaCl + mass of saturated NaCl)]
Percent deviation between your value and an accepted literature value of 26.4%: % deviation = [|26.4 - my value| / 26.4] x 100%
1)Given mass of dish and sodium chloride (mass of saturated NaCl solution +mass of dish): 61.1048g
Mass of evaporating dish: 54.3184g
Threfore the mass of saturated solution of NaCl is: ( 61.1048g-54.3184g) = 6.7868g
2)Mass of dish and sodium chloride is : 56.0293g
Mass of evaporating dish: 54.3184g
mass of sodium chloride = (56.0293g-54.3184g) = 1.7109g
mass% = [(mass of NaCl) / (mass of NaCl + mass of saturated NaCl)]
= 1.7109g/( 1.7109g+6.7868g)
= 0.201
=20.1%
% deviation = [|26.4 - my value| / 26.4] x 100%
= (26.4-20.1)/26.4] x 100%
= 23.86
