Given:
[tex]mass_{solute} = 125 \: g[/tex]
[tex]mass_{solvent} = 1.5 \: kg = 1500 \: g[/tex]
Required:
[tex]\% \: by \: mass[/tex]
Equation:
[tex]\% \: by \: mass = \frac{mass_{solute}}{mass_{solute} \: + \: mass_{solvent}} \times 100[/tex]
Solution:
[tex]\% \: by \: mass = \frac{125 \: g}{125 \: g \: + \: 1500 \: g} \times 100[/tex]
Answer:
[tex]\% \: by \: mass = 7.69\%[/tex]
