What mass, in grams, of sodium sulfate is needed to make 230.5 g of a 3.5 % (m/m) aqueous solution of sodium sulfate?

Sagot :

The percent concentration of a solution can be calculated from; mass of solute /mass of solution * 100. The mass of the solute here is 8.1 g.

What is concentration?

The term concentration refers to the amount of solute presnt in a solution. There are many ways of expressing concentration such as molarity, molality and percentage.

Here;

mass of solution = 230.5 g

Percent of solute =  3.5 %

3.5 = x/ 230.5 * 100

3.5 = 100x/230.5

230.5(3.5) = 100x

x = 230.5(3.5) /100

x = 8.1 g
