When 400 g of a 20% solution by weight was cooled, 50 g

CBSE Class 11

When 400 g of a 20% solution by weight was cooled, 50 g of solute precipitated. The percentage concentration of remaining solution is

2

weight of solution = 400g
weight of solute = 20 x 400/100 = 80 g
weight of solute precipitated = 50g
weight of solute remained in solution = 80-50 = 30g
weight of solution remained = 400 – 50 = 350g
Hence % by weight = 30/350x 100 = 8.57%
