If you have a 17% salt solution, how much salt will need to be added to 71 mL of water?

Salt added : 14.5 g

Given

17% salt solution

71 ml water

Required

salt needed

Solution

%mass = (mass solute : mass solution) x 100%

71 ml water = 71 g water(density = 1 g/ml)

mass solute = x

first one is the correct answer

solute : a solute is a substance that is dissolved in another substance is known as a solvent. it is mixed with a special mixture know as homogeneous mixture.

solvent: a solvent is a substance that dissolved a solute, which results in a solution is known as solvent.
