Answer: The mass of solution of [tex]NH_4Cl[/tex] is 4.86 grams.
Explanation:
In [tex]NH_4Cl[/tex], there are 1 nitrogen atom , 4 hydrogen atoms. and 1 chlorine atom.
To calculate the mass percent of element in a given compound, we use the formula:
[tex]\text{percent by mass}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}}{\text{Mass of solution}}\times 100[/tex]
Percent by mass of solution = 35%
Mass of solute [tex]NH_4Cl[/tex] = 1.7 gram
Mass of solution = ?
Putting values in above equation, we get:
[tex]35=\frac{1.7}{\text{Mass of solution}}\times 100[/tex]
[tex]{\text{Mass of solution}}=4.86g[/tex]
Hence, the mass of solution is 4.86 grams.
