Dissolving salt in water gave 400 g of a solution with a salt fraction of 20% by weight. how much salt was dissolved?

Solution weight = 400 g.

Mass fraction of solute = 20% or 0.2 (dimensionless value).

Solute mass = solution mass * solute mass fraction = 400 * 0.2 = 80 g.

Answer: the mass of the dissolved salt is 80 g.
