To make a saturated solution, 25 grams of sodium chloride is dissolved in 100 grams of water at 293K. Calculate the concentration (mass by mass percentage) at this temperature.
Mass of solute = 25 grams.
Mass of the solvent = 100 grams.
Mass of solution = 25 + 100 = 125 grams.
Concentration (mass by mass percentage)= mass of solutemass of solution×100 = 25 125×100
= 20 %.
