James mixed 25 grams of solute with 75 grams of solvent and calculated the concentration of the solution. What is the correct concentration of this solution?

Respuesta :

Answer:25%

Explanation:

The correct concentration of this solution is 33,3% (m/m)

To calculate the concentration of a solution, it is necessaries to know the amount of solutes and solvents that are presents in the solution.

The concentration is calculated according to the expression below:

                                         [tex]C = \frac{solute (g)}{solvent (g)}[/tex]

The amount of solvent is measured in every 100 grams, to calculate the percentage of solute present. So, considering this, we have:

                                              [tex]\frac{25g}{75g} = \frac{xg}{100g}[/tex]

                                              [tex]x = 33,3g[/tex]

So, the concentration of 25 grams of solute in 75 gramas of solvent is equal to 33,3% (m/m)
