We dissolve 93 grams of sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) in 20 grams of water. What is the percent by mass of sodium sulfate in this solution? Answer in units of %.
It should be for the total solution of 93 plus 20 grams which is 113 grams so 93 divided by 113 grams comes to 82.3% sodium sulfate and this can be checked by multiplying 113 grams by 0.823 which results in 93 grams of sodium sulphate.
