How many grams of sodium chloride and water are required to prepare 10 liters
How many grams of sodium chloride and water are required to prepare 10 liters of cucumber pickling solution, in which the mass fraction of sodium chloride is 3%?
1. Calculate the mass of the solution by the formula: V = m ρ, ρ (H2O) = 1 g / cm3
Let’s convert liters to grams. 10 l = 10000 g = 10kg.
V = 10000 g × 1 g / cm3 = 10000g = 10 kg.
2.Calculate the mass of sodium chloride in solution, if it is known that its mass fraction is 3%, according to the formula:
w = m (substance): m (solution) × 100%.
m (substance) = (w × m (solution)): 100%.
m (NaCl) = (3% × 10 kg): 100% = 0.3 kg.
3. Calculate the mass of water that you need to take to prepare a 3% solution:
m (H2O) = m (solution) – m (substance),
m (H2O) = 10 kg – 0.3 kg = 9.7 kg.
Answer: m (NaCl) = 0.3kg; m (H2O) = 9.7 kg.
