Practice question
Question
A solution contains 30 g of a solute in 120 g of water. If the mass percentage of the solute is increased to 25% by evaporating water, what mass of water remains?
Explanation
Initial mass % = (30/30 + 120) × 100 = 20% . New mass % = 25% = (30/30 + w) × 100 . 0.25 (30 + w) = 30 , 30 + w = 120 , w = 90 g .
