Answer:
4.76%
Explanation:
To find the mass percent of a compound, we need to find the total mass of the solution;
Mass of the Salt(solute) = 5g
Mass of the water(solvent) = 100g
The total mass of the solution = Mass of the solute + Mass of the solvent
= 5g + 100g
= 105g
To find the Mass percent of the salt in the solution
= mass of solute/ total mass of solution * 100
= 5g/105g * 100
= 4.76%
