72 g of salt was dissolved in 18 g of water. Determine the mass fraction of salt in the resulting solution.

1) find the mass of the salt solution:
m solution (salt) = m (salt) + m solution (H2O) = 18 + 72 = 90 g

2) find the mass fraction of salt in the solution:
ω (salt) = m (salt) * 100% / m solution (salt) = 18 * 100% / 90 = 20%

Answer: the mass fraction of salt in the resulting solution is 20%.
