Question

Calculate the mass percent (m/m)(\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{m}) for the solute in each of the following solutions:

a. 75 g of NaOH\mathrm{NaOH} in 325 g of NaOH\mathrm{NaOH} solution

b. 2.0 g} of KOH\mathrm{KOH} and 20.0 g of H2O\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}

c. 48.5 g of Na2CO3\mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{CO}_3 in 250.0 g of Na2CO3\mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{CO}_3 solution

Step 1
1 of 3

a) m(NaOH)=75gm(NaOH)=75g (solute) m(NaOH)=325gm(NaOH)=325g (solution)

The mass percent is calculated according to the form:

mass of solutemass of solution100%\dfrac{mass \ of \ solute}{mass \ of \ solution}\cdot100\%

mass percente = 75g325g100%=23.08m/m\dfrac{75g}{325g}\cdot100\%=\boxed{23.08m/m}
