800 g of solution contains 40 g of sodium chloride. What is the mass fraction of salt in the solution?

The mass fraction is the ratio of the mass of the solute to the mass of the entire solution.

The mass fraction of a solute is calculated as a percentage or in unit fractions.

Let’s find the mass fraction of salt in the solution by the formula:

w (solution) = m (salt) * 100% / m (solution) = 40 g * 100% / 800 g = 5%.
