Mass of solution = 146.4 mL x (1.084 g solution/1 mL) = 158.70 g solution
Mass of solute = 158.70 g solution x (15.8 g solute/100 g solution) = 25.1 g solute
From the given information, the mass of solute in the solution is 25.07 g
From the question, we are to determine the mass of solute in the solution
First, we will determine the mass of the solution
Using the formula,
Mass = Density × Volume
From the given information,
Density of the solution = 1.084 g/mL
Volume of the solution = 146.4 mL
∴ Mass of the solution = 1.084 × 146.4
Mass of the solution = 158.6976 g
Now, for the mass of solute in the solution
Using the formula,
[tex]Percent\ by\ mass \ of\ solute\ in\ solution= \frac{Mass\ of\ solute}{Mass\ of\ solution} \times 100\%[/tex]
∴ [tex]15.8 \% = \frac{Mass\ of\ solute}{158.6976}\times 100\%[/tex]
Mass of solute = [tex]\frac{15.8 \times 158.6976}{100}[/tex]
Mass of solute = 25.07 g
Hence, the mass of solute in the solution is 25.07 g
