To 250 g of sodium chloride solution with a mass fraction of 15%, another 50 g of salt was added.
To 250 g of sodium chloride solution with a mass fraction of 15%, another 50 g of salt was added. what was its mass fraction in the solution?
Table salt has the formula NaCl.
1) Calculate the mass of the solute salt in its solution. To do this, we multiply the mass fraction of salt by the mass of the solution and divide by one hundred percent: 250 * 15/100 = 37.5 g.
2) Find the mass of the solution after adding salt: 250 + 50 = 300g.
3) Find the mass of the solute in the solution after adding salt: 37.5 + 50 = 87.5g.
4) Calculate the mass fraction of the substance in the resulting solution. For this, the mass of the solute of the resulting solution is divided by the mass of the entire solution and multiplied by one hundred percent: 87.5 / 300 * 100 = 29.2% – the answer.
