An aqueous solution of an unknown solute "X" is prepared by adding 4.0g of it into 2.0moles of water. What is the mass percent of "X" in the aqueous solution?
Options
- A40
- B20
- C10
- D15
Correct answer
C. 10
Step-by-step solution
Mass of solute X = 4.0 g Moles of water = 2.0 mol Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol Mass of water = 2.0 18 = 36.0 g Total mass of solution = 4.0 + 36.0 = 40.0 g Mass percent of X = ( 4.0 40.0 ) 100 = 10 Answer: 10
