Answer:
Explanation:
In an aqueous solution of potassium sulfate (K₂SO₄), the solute is K₂SO₄ and the solvent is water. The percentage by mass describes the grams of solute there are dissolved per 100 grams of solution. It can be calculated as:
mass percentage = (mass of solute/total mass of solution) x 100%
For example, in an aqueous solution which is 2% by mass of K₂SO₄, there are 2 grams of K₂SO₄ per 100 g of solution.
