Question
To make a saturated solution, 36 g of sodium chloride is dissolved in 100 g of water at 293 K. Find its concentration at this temperature.
Answer
Given:
Mass of solute (sodium chloride) = 36 g
Mass of solvent (water) = 100 g
Step 1: Calculate the mass of the solution.
\text{Mass of solution} = \text{Mass of solute} + \text{Mass of solvent}\text{Mass of solution} = 36\text{ g} + 100\text{ g} = 136\text{ g}
Step 2: Calculate the concentration.
\text{Concentration} = \frac{\text{Mass of solute}}{\text{Mass of solution}} \times 100\text{Concentration} = \frac{36}{136} \times 100\text{Concentration} = 26.47\%
Therefore, the concentration of the solution is 26.47%.
