a student separeted a mixture of salt and sand to recover 16.32g of salt 7.44g of sand calculate the percent composotion

Sagot :

In order to calculate the percent composition of a mixture of salt and sand, we need to have the total mass of the mixture, which, assuming we only have these two mass involved, we will sum both values:

16.32 + 7.44 = 23.76 grams is the total mass of the mixture

23.76 is also 100% of the mass of the mixture, now we can determine the percent composition for each salt and sand:

23.76 = 100%

16.32 = x %

23.76x = 1632

x = 1632/23.76

x = 68.69% is made of salt

Now for sand:

23.76 = 100%

7.44 = x %

x = 31.31% is made of sand
