Can you show the calculations in great detail please

Calculate the mass percentage of NaCl in a solution containing 1.50 g sodium chloride
in 50.0 g of water.
Solution
Thus:
Total mass of solution = 1.50 g + 50.5 g = 51.5 g
% NaCl = 1.50g x 100 = 2.91 % NaCl
51.5 g
Practice Exercise 3b
A commercial bleaching solution contains 3.62 mass % sodium hypochlorite. What is
the mass of NaOCI in a 2.5-kg bottle of bleach?
Solution
This is a relatively easy question. The quoted percentage means that for every 100 g c
solution, 3.62 g are the solute, sodium hypochlorite. You can set up a proportion, or
note that the percentage is constant:
3.62% = 0.0362
Thus: kg NaOCI = 0.0362 x 2.5 kg = 0.0905 kg NaOCI = 90.5 g NaOCI
-OR-
3.62 g
100.0 g
X
2500.0 g
x = 90.5 g NaOCI
