Question

a solution has 23.22% mass/concentration of a particular solvent what is the mass of solute dissolved in 2.5 liter of solvent?

Answer 1

Let the mass of the solute be x

So, the equation would be
x/2.5+x ×100 = 23.22
x/2.5+x = 23.22/100
100x = 58.05 + 23.22x
100x - 23.22x = 58.05
76.78x = 58.05
x =0.756 ≈ 0.76 litres
