Answer:
Explanation:
1, Formula
- Mass percent = (mass of solute/mass of solution) × 100
2. Determine mass of solution
Substitute the data and clear the mass of solution:
- 3.5 = (3.0g / mass of solution) × 100
- 0.035 = 3.0g / mass of solution
- mass of solution = 3.0 g / 0.035
- mass of solution = 85.714g
3. Determine the mass of solvent:
- mass of solvent = mass of solution - mass of solute
- mass of solvent = 85.714g - 3.0g = 82.714g
Round to two significant figures: 83 g
