Solution
The correct option is D The mass of water evaporated is 10 g Given, 100 g of the sample,
mass of silica = 40 g
mass of water = 19 g
mass of impurities = 100 -59 = 41 g
After drying, the percentage of water is 10 %. Let a g is the mass of water lost. ⇒19−a100−a×100=10 a=10 g
Mass of the clay after drying = 100 - 10 = 90 g
percentage of silica = 4090×100=44.4
percentage of impurities = 4190×100=45.6
