We are asked to calculate for the percent by mass (mass %) of potassium nitrate in solution and to do that we’re going to use the mass percent formula shown below:
Since we are dealing with a solution, we can rewrite the equation as:
We don’t have the mass of the solution but we can calculate it using the mass of the solute and the mass of solvent.
▪ solute → KNO3
▪ solvent → where KNO3 is dissolved → Water (H2O)
The equation now becomes:
