Calculate the concentration in terms of mass by mass percentage of a solution containing 40 g40\text{ g} of common salt dissolved in 320 g320\text{ g} of water.

  1. A.11.1%Correct answer
  2. B.12.5%
  3. C.10.0%
  4. D.12.0%

Solution

Mass of solute (salt) = 40 g40\text{ g}. Mass of solvent (water) = 320 g320\text{ g}. Mass of solution = Mass of solute + Mass of solvent = 40+320=360 g40 + 320 = 360\text{ g}. Mass percentage = (Mass of solute / Mass of solution) ×100\times 100 = (40/360)×100=11.1%(40 / 360) \times 100 = 11.1\%.
