A solution of copper sulphate in water is made by dissolving 50g of copper sulphate in 500g of water. Is this solution homogeneous or heterogeneous? Why?
Answer
This solution is HOMOGENEOUS because copper sulphate completely dissolves in water, forming a uniform mixture at the molecular level. The copper sulphate particles (solute) are evenly distributed thro…
Calculate the mass by mass percentage of a solution that contains 30g of salt dissolved in 120g of water.
Answer
Step 1: Mass of solute (salt) = 30g Step 2: Mass of solvent (water) = 120g Step 3: Mass of solution = Mass of solute + Mass of solvent = 30g + 120g = 150g Step 4: Mass by mass percentage = (Mass of so…
