Calculate the mass percent, % (m/m), for the solute in each of the following solutions.

7.0 g of CaCl in 65.0 g of Ca Cl solution

1 answer

To calculate the mass percent, % (m/m), we need to divide the mass of the solute by the mass of the solution, and then multiply by 100.

The mass of the solute is 7.0 g.

The mass of the solution is 65.0 g.

Mass percent = (mass of solute / mass of solution) x 100

Mass percent = (7.0 g / 65.0 g) x 100 = 10.77%

Therefore, the mass percent of the solute in the solution is 10.77%.
