What is the concentration of a solution, in gsolute/100gsolvent, made using 2.29 g of KNO3 in 2.03 g of H2O?
well, since the solute is KNO3 and the solvent is H2O, I'd say it is
2.29/2.03 * (100/2.03)/(100/2.03) = 112.81/100
I think you must have meant
2.29 x (100/2.03) = 112.81g KNO3/100 g H2O which I would round to 113 g solute/100 g H2O
To find the concentration of a solution, we use the formula:
Concentration (in g solute/100 g solvent) = (Mass of Solute / Mass of Solvent) x 100
Here, we need to find the concentration of a solution made using 2.29 g of KNO3 (solute) and 2.03 g of H2O (solvent).
Using the formula, we plug the given values into the equation:
Concentration = (2.29 g / 2.03 g) x 100
Now, divide the mass of the solute (KNO3) by the mass of the solvent (H2O):
Concentration = 1.13 x 100
Multiply the result by 100 to convert it to a percentage:
Concentration = 113 g solute/100 g solvent
Therefore, the concentration of the solution, in gsolute/100gsolvent, made using 2.29 g of KNO3 in 2.03 g of H2O is 113 g solute/100 g solvent.
