I really need help with this please! If 45.8 grams of MgO are dissolved in 205 grams of water, what is the concentration of the solution in percent by mass?

OpenStudy (okdutchman7):

add up 45.8 and 205.

OpenStudy (okdutchman7):

@Tayllork

OpenStudy (okdutchman7):

That equals 250.8

OpenStudy (okdutchman7):

Then divide 45.8 by 250.8 and multiply by 100 for the percent MgO. And divide 205 by 250.8 and multiply by 100 for the percent water.

18.3%! Thank you so much! @okdutchman7

OpenStudy (okdutchman7):

OpenStudy (tayllork):

Thank you! (: @okdutchman7
