Explanation
Given:
Mass of the solute = 60 g
Volume of the solution = 270 mL
Required: mass/volume %
Solution
To solve this problem: Percent (m/v) is the mass of solute divided by the volume of the solution, multiplied by 100 %.
Percent (m/v) = mass of solute volume of solution × 100 %
Percentage (m/v) = (60g/270 mL) x 100
Percentage (m/v) = 22.2%
Answer
% (m/v) = 22.2%
