- If a point is reached when no more solute can be disolved, ther are called
saturated
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Ordinary bleach is 5.25% NaOCl by mass, which means each 100 g of
bleach contains 5.25 g NaOCl.
Now, you can find the mass percentage of the sodium hydroxide using the formula:
mass percent = (grams of solute / grams of solution) x 100
mass percent = (6 g NaOH / 56 g solution) x 100
mass percent = (0.1074) x 100
answer = 10.74% NaOH
Example 3: Find the masses of sodium chloride and water required to obtain 175 g
of a 15% solution.
This problem is a bit different because it gives you the mass percentage and asks you
to then find how much solute and solvent are needed to yield a total mass of 175
grams.
Start with the usual equation and fill in the given information:
So, now you know how much salt is needed. The solution consists of the sum of the amount
of salt and water. Simply subtract the mass of salt from the solution to obtain the mass of
water that is required:
mass of water = total mass - mass of salt
mass of water = 175 g - 26.25 g
mass of water = 147.75 g
