How many grams of sodium chloride are needed to prepare 250 mL of a 2% solution?
Question:
How many grams of sodium chloride are needed to prepare 250 mL of a 2% solution?
Percentage Concentration by Mass:
The concentration of a solution can be measured as a percentage of the ratio of the mass of the solute to the total volume of the solution. This is known as the percentage concentration by mass %(m/v) of the solution.
{eq}\% \ (m/v) =\displaystyle \frac{\text{Mass of the Solute}}{\text{Total volume of the Solution}} {/eq}
