At 20°C, a saturated solution holds 65.2 g of KBr in 100 g of water. What is the mass percent of KBr in water? If the temperature for the solution is raised to 60°C, but no more solute is added, would you expect the solution to be saturated, unsaturated or supersaturated? Why?
EXPERT ANSWER Explanation: The meaning of mass percentage is that the amount of solute in gram present in per 100g of the solution. Given data; mass of solute(KBr) = 65.2 g mass of solvent(water) = 100 g total mass of solution = 165.2 g Formula: (% m/m) mass percent = ( mass of the solute …
