140 g of salt was dissolved in 300 ml of water. Determine the mass fraction of salt in the resulting solution.

1. The density of water is 1 g / ml, which means the mass of the solution:

m (water) = ρ * V = 300 * 1 = 300 g;

2. find the mass of the solution:

m (solution) = m (salt) + m (water) = 140 + 300 = 440 g;

3.Calculate the mass fraction:

w (salt) = m (salt): m (solution) = 140: 440 = 0.3182 or 31.82%.
