Kailey · Answer 1

The answer is 17.7%. 14.0/78.9*100=17.7%

Sydnee · Answer 2

Mass of solute that is KCl given as=14.0 g

Mass of the solution=Volume / times density

Mass of the solution=78 mL/times 1g cm^{-3}

Mass of the solution=78 g

weight/weight % of the solute=/frac{Mass of the solute}{Mass of the solution}/times 100

weight/weight % of the solute that is KCl=/frac{14}{78}/times 100

weight/weight % of the solute that is KCl=17.9

So the weight/weight % of the solute that is KCl found to be 17.9.
