If the percent (mass/mass) for a solute is 6% and the mass of the solution is 300 g., what is the mass of solute in solution?
(mass solute/mass soln) = 0.06
To find the mass of the solute in the solution, you need to use the formula:
Mass of solute = Percent solute × Mass of solution / 100
Given:
Percent (mass/mass) = 6%
Mass of solution = 300 g
Substituting the values into the formula, we have:
Mass of solute = 6 × 300 / 100
Now, it's time to calculate:
Mass of solute = 18 g
Therefore, the mass of the solute in the solution is 18 grams.
