How do you find the mass of a solvent?

In order to determine the mass of a solute, there are a few things you need to know. I am assuming you already know the compounds, and you know about molar mass. If you know the mass or number of moles or possibly volume of solution, and the molarity or mass percent, you can calculate the mass of solute.


Can temperature and pressure change the neutralization of a solvent?

Unless the solute is frozen , the temperature and pressure in a room should not change the neutralization of a solute. This is because the solvent and all other aspects of the experiment would be equally affected, and the solute's temperature would balance itself out.


What will be the likely error if a student discovered that the total amount of material recovered weighed more than the original sample?

The student didn't completely dry down the solvent. The student may apply heat to evaporate the water or solvent amount of material extracted. Or depending on the experiment, you can first re filter the final product then heat it to evaporate any water or solvent that was left behind.
