Percent Mass

This document provides examples of calculating mass percent concentration for various solutions. It gives the calculations for: 1) A 5.0 g sugar solution in 150 g water being 3.2% sugar 2) A 200 g alcohol solution containing 180 mL water being 10.0% alcohol 3) 50 g of a 5.0% NaBr solution requiring 2.5 g of NaBr

Exercises (Mass Percent)
 
1. 5.0 grams of sugar are dissolved in 150 g of water What is the mass percent of
sugar in the solution?
 
5/(5 + 150) * 100 % = 3.2 %
 
2. A 200-gram solution of alcohol contains 180 mL of water. What is the mass
percent of alcohol? (Remember water's density.)
 
(200 –180)/200 * 100 % = 10.0%
 
3. How many grams of NaBr are needed to make 50 g of a 5.0% solution?
 
0.05(50) = 2.5 g
 
 
4. How many grams of LiOH are needed to make 25 g of a 4.0 % solution?

0.04(25) = 1.0 g
 
5. What mass of NaF must be mixed with 25 mL of water to create a 3.5% by mass
solution?
 
x/(x+25) = 0.035
x = 0.91 g
 
6. An 800 g solution of Kool-Aid contains 780 g of water. What is the mass percent
of solute in this solution?
 
(800 – 780)/800 * 100% = 2.5%

7. What is the mass percent of a solution created by adding 10 g of olive oil to 90 g


of vegetable oil?
 
10/(10+90)* 100% = 10%
 
8. If a 4000g solution of salt water contains 40g of salt, what is its mass percent?
 
40/4000 *100% = 1.0%
