Answer: 19 grams
Explanation:
percent by mass = (mass of part)/(mass of whole) * 100
this means that in this question, 12 = x/160 * 100, where x is the amount of NaCl.
this means 12/100 = x/160, and thus x = (160)(12/100)=19.2 grams
The closest option is B.
Answer:
Second Option: 19 grams
Explanation:
Total solution weight: 160 grams
percent of NaCl in the solution: 12%
You take these two numbers and multiply them with 12 being over 100:
160 * [tex]\frac{12}{100}[/tex] = 19.2 grams
and then just round to the nearest whole number: 19 grams
