If 32.5 grams of CaO are dissolved in 212 grams of water, what is the concentration of the solution in percent by mass?

6.52% CaO

8.67% CaO

13.3% CaO

15.3% CaO

Respuesta :

percent by mass of CaO= Mass of solute/ moles of solution x 100%

(32.5g)/ (32.5g+212g) x 100%
= 13.29 and when you round it becomes 13.3% CaO

Answer:

Concentration of solution in percent by mass is 13.3% CaO

Explanation:

% by mass = [tex]\frac{mass of solute}{mass of solution}\times 100[/tex]

Here solute is CaO and solvent is water.

So, mass of solution = (mass of solute)+(mass of solvent)

                                  = (mass of CaO)+(mass of water)

                                   = 32.5 g + 212 g

                                    = 244.5 g

So, Concentration of solution by percent mass = [tex]\frac{mass of CaO}{mass of solution}\times 100[/tex] = [tex]\frac{32.5}{244.5}\times 100[/tex] = 13.3 %
