Answer:
C. 7.50g
Explanation:
The percent (%) by mass of a solute in a solution refers to the number of grams contained in 100g of solution by that solute. In this case, 5% by mass of pottasium chloride (KCl) means 5g of KCl is contained in 100g of solution.
Therefore, in 150g of solution, there would be:
5g/100g × 150g
= 0.05 × 150
= 7.50g of KCl solute.
Hence, 7.50g of pottasium chloride would be expected to be collected by evaporating 150.0 g of the solution.
