A solution is \(0 \cdot 25 \%\) by mass. What is the weight of solvent containing \(1.25 \mathrm{~g}\) solute?

  1. A 498.758g
  2. B 300g
  3. C 600g
  4. D 200g
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 498.758g

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Mass of solution \(=100 \mathrm{~g}\). Mass of solute \(=0.25 \mathrm{~g}\).
\(\therefore\) Mass of solvent \(=100-0.25=99.75 \mathrm{~g}\).
\(0.25\) of solute is present in \(99.75 \mathrm{~g}\) of solvent
\(\therefore 1.25 \mathrm{~g} .\) of solute will be present in
\(\frac{99.75 \times 1.25}{0.25}=498.75 \mathrm{~g}\) of solvent.
