Answer: The concentration of the solution is 55.66g[tex]KNO_3[/tex]/100g[tex]H_2O[/tex]
Explanation:
A solution consists of solute and solvent. A solute is defined as the component present in a smaller proportion while the solvent is defined as the component that is present in a larger proportion.
We are given:
Mass of [tex]KNO_3[/tex] = 2.31 g
Mass of water = 4.15 g
To calculate the concentration in g[tex]KNO_3[/tex]/100 g [tex]H_2O[/tex], we apply unitary method:
In 4.15 g of water, the mass of [tex]KNO_3[/tex] present is 2.31 g
So, in 100 g of water, the mass of [tex]KNO_3[/tex] present will be [tex]\frac{2.31}{4.15}\times 100=55.66g[/tex]
Hence, the concentration of the solution is 55.66g[tex]KNO_3[/tex]/100g[tex]H_2O[/tex]
