Explanation:
The percent by mass formula is expressed as:
From the question we have:
mass of solute = 29 g
volume of solution = 202 mL
density of solution = 1.00 g/mL
From the volume and density, we can find the mass of solution using this formula:
Rearranging the formula to find mass:
Plugging in the values into percent by mass formula:
