Question

A solution is obtained by mixing 300 g of 25% solution and 400 g of 40% solution by mass. Calculate the mass percentage of the resulting solution.

Solution

Total amount of solute present in the mixture is given by,

300 xx 25/100+400xx40/100

=75+160

=235g

Total amount of solution = 300 + 400 = 700 g

Therefore, mass percentage (w/w) of the solute in the resulting solution = 235/700xx100%

= 33.57%

And, mass percentage (w/w) of the solvent in the resulting solution,

= (100 − 33.57)%

= 66.43%

Is there an error in this question or solution?
