Calculate the percent by mass of a solution of Ca(NO3)2 that has 22.63 g dissolved in 896.92 g of water.

Hey there!

To calculate the percent by mass of the Ca(NO₃)₂ we need to find the total mass first by adding.

896.92 + 22.63 = 919.55

In total, the solution is 919.55 grams.

To find the percent of Ca(NO₃)₂ in the solution, divide the mass of Ca(NO₃)₂ by the total mass and multiply by 100.

22.63 ÷ 919.55 = 0.0246

0.0246 x 100 = 2.46

Ca(NO₃)₂ makes up 2.46% of the solution.

Hope this helps!
