You have a 155-g sample of Al2O3. If there are 22.5 g of Al in the solution, what is the percent by mass of the solute? Use details to support your answer.

Respuesta :

Answer:

14.52%

Explanation:

The percentage by mass (WW%) is calculated by using the formula:

Mass of solute/mass of solution ×

100

The solute (Al) is 22.5g while the solvent (Al2O3) is 155g

Hence, percent by mass is:

22.5/155 × 100

= 0.1452 × 100

= 14.52%
