Calculate the mass fraction of salt in the solution if 4 g of salt and 21 g of water were taken for its preparation.

The solution consists of two components. Dissolved substance and solvent.

The weight of the solution is 4 + 21 = 25 grams.

Let’s calculate the mass fraction of salt.

To do this, divide the mass of salt by the mass of the solution.

C substance = 4/25 = 0.16 = 16%;

In a similar way, we calculate the mass fraction of the solution.

From solvent = 21/25 = 0.84 = 84%;

Check: With substance + With solvent = 16 + 84 = 100%
