In 160 g of water, 40 g of salt was dissolved. The mass fraction of the solution is …

Given:

m (H2O) = 160 g;

m (salt) = 40 g.

To find:

W =?

Decision:

1) To determine the mass fraction, we use the formula:

W = (m (substance): m (solution)) x 100%.

2) m (solution) = m (solvent) + m (solute);

m (solution) = 160 g + 40 g = 200 g.

3) Substitute the values:

W = (40g: 200g) x 100% = 20%.

Answer: A) 20%.
