A solution contains 40 g of common salt in 320 g of water. Calculate the concentration in terms of mass by mass percentage of the solution.
Solution: Mass of solute (salt) = 40 gMass of solvent (water) = 320 gWe know,Mass of solution = Mass of solute +Mass of solvent= 40 g + 320 g= 360 gMass percentage of solution= Mass of solute / Mass of solution ×100 = 40/ 360 ×100 =11.1%
