Calculate the mass of sodium acetate, in grams, needed to be dissolved in water to produce a 630 mL

solution with a concentration of 90% m/v.

Step 1: mass solute of sodium acetate in grams

Step 2: % m/v = 90
v solution = 630mL

Step 3: % m/v = mass solute/ volume solution * 100

mass solute = (% m/v * volume solution) / 100

Step 4: mass solute = (90g/mL) (630mL) / 100

Step 5: mass solute = 567g

The mass of sodium acetate to be dissolved in the solution is 567g.

Calculate the mass of potassium nitrate, in grams, needed to be dissolved in water to produce a
243 mL solution with a concentration of 12 % m/v.

Step 1: mass solute of potassium nitrate in grams

Step 2: % m/v = 12
v solution = 243mL

Step 3: % m/v = mass solute/ volume solution * 100

mass solute = (% m/v * volume solution) / 100

Step 4: mass solute = (12g/mL) (243mL) / 100

Step 5: mass solute = 29.16g

The mass of potassium nitrate to be dissolved in the solution is 29.16g.

Calculate the mass/volume percent of a 536mL solution that is prepared by dissolving 364 g of calcium
azide, in water.

Step 1: % m/v

Step 2: m solute = 364g

v solution = 536mL

Step 3: % m/v = mass solute/ volume solution * 100

Step 4: % m/v = 364 / 536 * 100

Step 5: % m/v = 67.91 or 68

The percentage by mass per volume of the solution is 68% m/v
