Calculate the mass of sodium sulphate required to prepare its 20% (mass percent) solution in 100 g of water?
Solution:
Mass Percent: amount of solute in 100 gram of solution.
Mass Percent (%)
Let the mass of sodium sulphate required be = m gram
Mass of the solvent (water) = 100 gram
The mass of solution = (m + 100) gram (sum of mass of solute and solvent)
