1. Prepare 150g of solution which is 7.5% NaCl by weight concentration.

Weight of solute needed (show computations).

Weight of water needed (show computations).

Given: 150g solution

7.5% NaCl
7.5% = 0.075

Answer:
a. Weight of solute needed (NaCl):
7.5 %
¿ × 15 0
100 %
=11.25 NaCl

or

= (150g) (0.075) = 11.25g NaCl

b. Weight of water needed (H2O):

= 150g – 11.25g
= 138.75g
