In 180 g of water, 20 g of salt was dissolved. what is the mass fraction of salt in the solution?

Formula for determining the mass fraction of a substance in a solution:

W (in-va) = m (in-va) / m (solution) • 100%.

Determine the mass of the solution after adding salt:

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

m (solution) = 20 + 180 = 200 g.

The mass fraction of salt in the solution is:

W (salt) = 20/200 • 100% = 10%.
