Calculate the mass of water required to prepare 160 grams of a 25% salt solution.

The mass of the solution is 160 grams;

To find the mass of salt, it is necessary to multiply its mass fraction by the mass of the solution.

m salt = 160 x 0.25 = 40 grams;

To find the mass of water, subtract the mass of salt from the mass of the solution:

m water = 160 – 40 = 120 grams;

Check: 120 + 40 = 160;
