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!
