Answer:
Calculate the mass percent of a potassium nitrate solution when 15.0 g KNO3 is dissolved in 250 g
of water.
2. Calculate the mass percent of a sodium nitrate solution when 150.0 g NaNO3 is dissolved in 500 mL
of water. Hint: 1 mL water = 1 g water
3. Calculate the weight of table salt needed to make 670 grams of a 4.00% solution.
4. How many grams of solute are in 2,200 grams of a 7.00% solution?
5. How many grams of sodium chloride are needed to prepare 6,000 grams of a 20% solution?
Mass Percent = Grams of Solute
Grams of Solution X 100%
100%
Grams of Solute = Grams of Solution X Mass Percent
= 26.8 grams NaCl
= 670 grams X 4.00%
100%
100%
Grams of Solute = Grams of Solution X Mass Percent
= 154 grams solute
= 2,200 grams X 7.00%
100%
100%
Grams of Solute = Grams of Solution X Mass Percent
= 1,200 grams NaCl
= 6,000 grams X 20.0%
100%
