Chapter 11, Problem 49QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The percent-by-mass concentration for given $\text{NaCl}$ solution is to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

$\text{NaCl}$ is an ionic solute and water is a polar solvent. Thus, $\text{NaCl}$ is easily soluble in water to give the solution. The percent-by-mass is calculated by dividing the solute mass by the mass of solution and multiplied by $100\%$ .
