AP Chemistry
1.4 Composition of Mixtures
A student determines the composition of a mixture containing only \(\text{NaCl(s)}\) and sand. The student adds excess distilled water so that all the \(\text{NaCl(s)}\) dissolves, filters the mixture, and dries the filter paper and residue to constant mass. Because the sand is insoluble, the dry residue is sand.
What is the mass percent of sand in the original mixture?
| Measurement | Mass |
|---|---|
| Original mixture | \(12.0\text{ g}\) |
| Dry filter paper | \(1.00\text{ g}\) |
| Dry filter paper and residue | \(4.00\text{ g}\) |
What is the mass percent of sand in the original mixture?
