How much acid and water are there in 200g of a 5% acid solution?

1. Five percent solution means a solution in which 5 percent is acid and the remaining 95 percent is water. Let’s make a proportion to find out how much acid is in 200 grams of this solution:

100% – 200;

5% – H.

Where from:

X = 200 x 5/100;

X = 10 (g).

2. Now you can simply calculate how much water is in the solution, subtract the mass of the acid contained in it from the total mass of the solution:

200 – 10 = 190 (g).

Answer: 200 grams of a 5% solution contains 10 grams of acid and 190 grams of water.
