Answer:
26.9%
Explanation:
To obtain the percentage by mass of solution, do the following:
Data obtained from the question include:
Mass of HCl (solute) = 36g
Mass of water (solvent) = 98g
Mass of the solution = Mass of solute + Mass of solvent
Mass of the solution = 36 + 98 = 134g
Percentage by mass of the solution = Mass of solute/mass of solution x 100
Percentage by mass of solution = 36/134 x 100 = 26.9%
