Question:
Find the mass percent of CuSO{eq}_4{/eq} in a solution whose density is 1.30 g/mL and whose molarity is 1.36 M.
Molarity and Mass Percentage :
Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute per liter of solution. It is given as:
{eq}\rm Molarity = \dfrac{n}{Volume(liter)} {/eq}
where n = number of moles of solute and V = volume of solution in liters.
It is represented as M.
Mass percentage, another concentration unit, is given as:
{eq}\rm \dfrac{M_{a}}{M_{a}+M_{b}}{/eq} where the numerator represents the mass of solute and denominator represents mass of solution.

We can calculate the mass of solution using the density as following :
{eq}\rm 1.30\;g/mL = \dfrac{m}{1000\;mL} {/eq}
This gives m = 1300 g.
The...
