An aqueous solution of potassium bromide, KBr, contains 4.34 grams of potassium bromide and 17.4 grams of water. The percentage by mass of potassium bromide in the solution is 20 %.

True

Explanation:

The percentage by mass of a substance in a solution can be calculated by dividing the mass of the substance dissolved in the solution by the total mass of the solution. This can be expressed mathematically as:

Percentage by mass = mass of substance in solution/mass of solution x 100

In this case;

mass of KBr = 4.34 grams

mass of water = 17.4 grams

mass of solution = mass of KBr + mass of water = 4.34 + 17.4 = 21.74

Percentage by mass of KBr = 4.34/21.74 x 100

                                              = 19.96 %

19.96 is approximately 20%.

Hence, the statement is true.

neutrons are in the middle of the atom and the electrons, which are much smaller.
