Determine the percentage concentration of the solution formed by dissolving 140 g of acetic acid in 60 g of water.

Given:

m (substance) = 140g,

m (water) = 60 g,

W -?

Decision:

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

m (solution) = m (water) + m (substance).

m (solution) = 60 g + 140 g = 200 g.

W = (140g: 200g) × 100% = 70%.

Or:

200 g solution – 100%,

140 g of substance – x%,

x = 70%.

Answer: 70%.
