40 grams of salt was dissolved in 360 g of water. Calculate the mass fraction of the solute in the resulting solution.

Given:
m (water) = 360 g
m (salt) = 40 g

Find:
ω (salt) -?

Solution:
1) m solution (salt) = m (salt) + m (water) = 40 + 360 = 400 g;
2) ω (salt) = m (salt) * 100% / m solution (salt) = 40 * 100% / 400 = 10%.

Answer: The mass fraction of salt is 10%.
