Interpretation:
Percent by mass of MgCl2in aqueous solution has to be calculated.
Concept introduction:
Composition of a solution can be defined by expressing its concentration. The concentrations of solutions can be expressed in different ways, which are involved in the quantity of solute and the quantity of solution or solvent. Various methods are used to describe the concentration of the solution quantitatively. Some commonly used quantitative concentration terms are percent by mass, percent by volume, molarity, molality and mole fraction.
Mass percentage or percent by mass (w/W %): The mass percentage of a component of a solution is defined as:
Answer to Problem 67A
Percent by mass of MgCl2in aqueous solution is 4.35%.
Data given: Mass of MgCl2 = 25 gm
Volume of the solvent (water) = 550 mL
Mas of the solvent water = 550 gm (As, density of water = 1 gm/mL)
Total mass of MgCl2 solution = (550 + 25) gm = 575 gm
Explanation of Solution
Data given: Mass of MgCl2 = 25 gm
Volume of the solvent (water) = 550 mL
Mas of the solvent water = 550 gm (As, density of water = 1 gm/mL)
Total mass of MgCl2 solution = (550 + 25) gm = 575 gm
