Calculate the masses of salt and water required to prepare 400 g of a solution with a salt fraction of 0.05.

The mass fraction of a substance in a solution is determined by the formula.

W = m (substance): m (solution) × 100%,

hence m (substance) = (m (solution) × w): 100%.

m (substance) = (400 g × 5%): 100% = 20 g.

m (water) = m (solution) – m (salt).

m (water) = 400 g – 20 g = 380 g.

Answer: 20 g; 380 BC
