Answer:
%KCl = 7.05%
%Water = 92.95%
Explanation:
Step 1: Given data
- Mass of KCl (solute): 36 g
- Mass of water (solvent): 475 g
Step 2: Calculate the mass of the solution
The mass of the solution is equal to the sum of the masses of the solute and the solvent.
m = 36 g + 475 g = 511 g
Step 3: Calculate the mass percentage of the solution
We will use the following expression.
%Component = mComponent/mSolution × 100%
%KCl = 36 g/511 g × 100% = 7.05%
%Water = 475 g/511 g × 100% = 92.95%
