Finding Percent Mass

If 200 grams of salt is dissolved in 8000 grams of water, what is the salt concentration in percent?



This is a percent by mass calculation

we can apply the universal % formula

part / whole
(100) = %



200 g NaCl / 8000g H2O
(100) = 2.5 %



The salt concentration of this solution is 2.5 %
