What is the percent by mass of solute if 14.15 g of #NaI# is mixed with 75.55 g of water? Chemistry Solutions Solute 1 Answer Suresh Rawal Dec 17, 2016 15.77 % Explanation: Weight of solute and solvent #14.15+75.55=89.70# Since 89.70 gm of total weight containing 14.15 gm solute Hence what is percent of solute if total weight is 100 gm #100*14.15/89.70 = 15.77# Hence answer is 15.77 % Answer link Related questions Why do solutes dissolve better in hot water?
