Question 1107030: A beaker contains 10 kg of salt water that is 99% water and 1% salt by weight . The water is evaporated until the beaker is 98% water and 2% salt. How many kg of salt water are in the beaker at this time ? Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! You didn't add any salt to the beaker,
so the 2% salt is still kg
---------------------------------------
Let = the total kg of the final mixture
There is .1 kg of salt and
4.9 kg of water in the beaker after evaporation
--------------------------
There is 5 kg of salt water at this time
check the math
