Answer:
[tex]m_{solution}=446.4g[/tex]
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, by-mass percent is computed in terms of the mass of the solute and the mass of the solvent as shown below:
[tex]\% m=\frac{m_{solute}}{m_{solution}} *100\%[/tex]
Thus, solving for the mass of the solution, we obtain:
[tex]\frac{x}{y} m_{solution}=\frac{m_{solute}}{\% m}*100\%\\ \\m_{solution}=\frac{62.5g}{14.0\%}*100\% \\\\m_{solution}=446.4g[/tex]
Regards.
