What masses of potassium chloride and water should be taken to prepare 80 g of a solution with a salt fraction of 0.2?

The mass of the solution is 80 grams;

To find the mass of salt, it is necessary to multiply its mass fraction by the mass of the solution.

m salt = 80 x 0.2 = 16 grams;

To find the mass of water, subtract the mass of salt from the mass of the solution:

m of water = 80 – 16 = 64 grams;

Check: 64 + 16 = 80;
