Rudy Gill · Answer 1

C = 98%

Explanation:

Hello,

To determine the percentage of salt recovered, we'll divide the mass of the salt recovered over by the original mass of the salt.

Mass of salt recovered = 1.47g

Initial mass of salt = 1.50g

Percentage of salt recovered = (mass recovered / initial mass of salt) * 100

Percentage of salt recovered = (1.47 / 1.50) * 100

Percentage of salt recovered = 0.98 * 100

Percentage of salt recovered = 98%

The percentage of salt recovered is equal to 98%
