a solution is prepared by dissolving certain amount of solute in 500g of water the percentage by msss of solute in solution is 2.38 calculate mass of solute

a solution is prepared by dissolving certain amount of solute in 500g

1.	a solution is prepared by dissolving certain amount of solute in 500g of water the percentage by msss of solute in solution is 2.38 calculate mass of solute
Answer» ʜᴇʟʟᴏ ᴍᴀᴛᴇ! Mass of solvent = 500G Mass of solute= ( needed to be FIND out ) Mass by mass percentage = 2.38% Mass by mass percentage = Mass of solute / mass of solution × 100 Mass of solution = solute + solvent ( 500g + solute ) ( solute ) / ( 500 + solute ) × 100 = 2.38 100solute = 2.38 ( 500 + solute ) 100solute = 1190 + 2.38 solute 97.62 solute = 1190 Solute= 12.2g Hope it helps
