Determine the mass fraction of salt in the solution if it is known that 500 g of it contains 120 g of potassium nitrate.

m (KNO3) = 120 g.

m solution = 500 g.

Determine the mass fraction of salt in this solution. We write down the resulting solution.

We use the following formula.

W (KNO3) = m r.v / m r-ra * 100%.

Substitute the known values into this expression.

W = 120/500 * 100% = 24%.

This means that the mass fraction of salt in this solution is 24 percent.

Answer: the mass fraction of salt is 24 percent.
