Question
How much water should be added to 15 grams of salt to obtain 15 per cent salt solution ?
Advertisements
Solution
To make the salt solution of 15% with 15 gm as the mass of the solute, the mass of the solvent must be 85 gm.
`"concentration" = "mass of solute"/"mass of solute + mass of solvent"xx 100`
Mass of solution = mass of solute + mass of solvent
Mass of the solvent = mass of the solution – mass of solvent
= 100 – 15 = 85 gm
Therefore, 85 gm of water should be added.

A, B and C are all liquids. Liquid A has a comparatively low boiling point. On heating, liquid A vaporises completely without leaving behind any residue. Liquid A is being used increasingly as a fuel in motor vehicles either alone or by mixing with petrol. Liquid B has a very high boiling point. It also vaporises completely on heating, without leaving any residue. Liquid B is a conductor of electricity and used in making thermometers. Liquid C has a moderate boiling point. On heating, liquid C vaporises leaving behind a white solid D which is used in cooking vegetables. The condensation of vapours from C give a liquid E which turns anhydrous CuSO4 to blue.
