Answer : The mass percent of NaCl is, 5.7 %
Explanation : Given,
Mass of NaCl = 6 g
Mass of water = 100 g
Mass of solution = Mass of NaCl + Mass of water
Mass of solution = 6 g + 100 g
Mass of solution = 106 g
Mass % : It is defined as the mass of solute present in the solution.
To calculate the mass percentage of NaCl, we use the equation:
[tex]\text{Mass percent of }NaCl=\frac{\text{Mass of }NaCl}{\text{Mass of solution}}\times 100[/tex]
Now put all the given values in above equation, we get:
[tex]\text{Mass percent of }NaCl=\frac{6g}{106g}\times 100=5.7\%[/tex]
Hence, the mass percent of NaCl is, 5.7 %
