Calculate the mass percent of each component in the following solution. 159 g NiCl2 in 500 g water
% Nicla
% water

% NiCl2 = 24.13%

% water = 78.57%

Explanation:

Mass percentage = mass of solute/mass of solution × 100

According to this question, a solution contains 159 g of NiCl2 in 500 g of water. Hence, mass of the solution is calculated as follows:

Mass of solution = 159g + 500g

Mass of solution = 659g

Therefore;

A) % Mass of NiCl2 in solution = mass of NiCl2/mass of solution × 100

% Mass of NiCl2 in solution = 159/659 × 100

% Mass of NiCl2 in solution = 0.2413 × 100

= 24.13%

B) % Mass of water in solution = mass of water/mass of solution × 100

% Mass of water in solution = 500/659 × 100

% Mass of water in solution = 0.7587 × 100

% Mass of water in solution = 75.87%

answer: e.   sour taste

explanation: acids are those substances which dissociates in water to give ions. as they dissociate to give ions, they act as electrolytes and thus are electrically conductive. acids are sour in taste. example: hcl

bases are those substances which dissociates in water to give ions or accepts ions. as they dissociate to give ions, they act as electrolytes and thus are electrically conductive. bases are bitter in taste. bases are slippery in nature.
