A chemistry student needs 75 g of thiophene foran experiment. He has available 0.50 kg of a 29.3% w/w solution of thiophene in carbon tetrachloride.
Calculate the mass of solution the student should use. Ifthere's not enough solution, press the "No solution" button.

Answer: The mass of solution the student should use is 256 g

Explanation:

Given : 29.3 % w/w which means that 29.3 g of solute is present in 100 g of solution

Thus 100 g of solution contains = 29.3 g of solute

0.50 kg or 500 g of solution contains = [tex]\frac{29.3}{100}\times 500=146.5[/tex] g of solute   (1kg=1000g)

146.5 g of solute is available in = 500 g of solution

Thus 75 g of solute is available in = [tex]\frac{500}{146.5}\times 75 g=256g[/tex] of solution

Thus the mass of solution the student should use is 256 g
