It remains constant since no liquid or solid escapes. However, it can also be argued that the total mass drops, since the surface of the solute evaporates, reducing the amount of substance in the solution.

The mass of the solvent remains the same. The mass of the solution increases by the same amount of solute that you added, to create the solution.

If something dissolves into something else will it change mass?

The mass of the solution will be equal to the mass of the solute plus the mass of the solvent. However, the total mass does not change.


How do the solvent particles break up from the solute?

When a solute dissolves it breaks apart into its individual particles. The solute and solvent particles mix together and become totally mixed up. That's why a solution is a mixture! As the solute and solvent particles become mixed up, no matter is lost. The overall mass stays the same.


What are the factors that affect how a solute dissolves?

heat, because the particles move further apart.


How is massed conserved when adding a solute to a solvent?

If you weigh the solute, and then weigh the solvent, and then add the solute to the solvent and weigh the solution, you will find that the sum of the weights of the solute and solvent is equal to the weight of the resulting solution. So mass is conserved.


How can you dissolve more solid into liquid?

Once you have reached a point where you cannot dissolve any more solute in solvent, you have reached a saturation point of the liquid. Now if you increase the temperature of the solution you will be able to dissolve some more solute. Another way to do this is to greatly increase the volume of solvent.


A measurement of how much solute exists within a certain volume of solvent?

Mass of solute X 100 Mass of solvent


What is the formula for mass percent?

mass % of element X = mass of element X ____________________ X 100 total mass of compound or mass of solute _____________________________ X 100 mass of solute + mass of solvent


Formula for molality?

== Molality== (1000xMolarity)/((1000xdensity of solution)- (MolarityxMolecular weight of Solute)) ==


What are two conditions that determine the mass of solute that will dissolve in a given mass of solvent?

The temperature: Increasing temperature makes the particles move faster. Heat energy is transferred by the movement of the particles. Because the solvent particles are moving faster, they bump into the solute.Stirring: Moves all the particles around do the solvent particles bump into the solute particles.


Is there a greater amount of solute than solvent present in a solution?

The solute wont get dissolved completely since the solvent (i assume) is less than that of solute. and therefore after the saturation of the solvent a significant amount of solute will remain behind. an incomplete reaction takes place with your condition of mixing.


Does the Mass mass percent concentration measures grams of solute per grams of solvent?

No, not exactly.Mass mass percent concentration measures grams of solute per 100 grams of solution (= solvent + solute)Example:58.5 g NaCl (solute) added to941.5 g H2O (solvent) gives you1000.0 g solution of 5.85% NaCl (= 100%*58.5/1000.0),which is about a 1.0 mol/L NaCl solution.


What does concentration mean in 5th grade science?

Its a ratio of solute in solutions. Concentration= (Mass of solute/Volume of solvent) * 100
