Determine the mass of salt and water required to obtain 400g of a 15% solution.

The mass of the solution is 400 grams;

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

m salt = 400 x 0.15 = 60 grams;

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

m water = 400 – 60 = 340 grams;

Check: 340 + 60 = 400;
