It depends, is the solution 15% salt or 15% saturatedwith salt? If it is 15% salt, is is 85% water. If it is 15% saturated, it is 5.385%.

In a 15% salt solution, the percentage of water would be 85%. This is because the sum of the percentage of salt and water in a solution must equal 100%.

In which direction would osmosis occur if 15 percent sugar solution is separated from a 25 percent sugar solution?

Osmosis would occur from the 15 percent sugar solution to the 25 percent sugar solution since the concentration of water is higher in the 15 percent solution. Water molecules will move across the semipermeable membrane to equalize the concentration of sugar on both sides.


How do you dilute 500 gallons of 31 percent to 15 percent?

To dilute 500 gallons of a 31% solution to a 15% solution you would add 533.33 gallons of the dilutant. For example, if you have 500 gallons of a 31% saline solution you would add 533.33 gallons of water to create 1033.33 gallons of a 15% saline solution.


What is 15ww solution?

I think you may have misspelled your question. This always makes it a bit more difficult to answer. But I'm going to make the assumption that your solution was labelled "15% w/w" Is that about right? Well, then, what that means is that your solution contains 15 parts by weight of of the solute, and 85 parts by weight of the solvent. For example, a solution of 15 grams of salt and 85 grams of water is a 15% w/w solution of salt in water. By the way, w/w means "weight in weight".


How does adding salt to water affect it freezing point?

Adding salt to water increases its density and lowers its freezing point. ---------------------- I've just completed a repeated experiment on the effects of salt and the freezing point of water. A saturated salt solution will not freeze at -15 degrees Celsius (my freezer temperature). At exactly -21.1 degrees Celsius the salt begins to crystallize out of the solution, along with the ice, until the solution completely freezes.


If you have a 300ml of a 15 percent hydrochloric acid solution in dilute the solution to 1000ml with sterile water what percent should appear on the label?

The final concentration of the hydrochloric acid solution would be 5% after dilution. Therefore, the label should indicate that the solution is a 5% hydrochloric acid solution.

What is the percent of a water solution that contains 60 g of calcium chloride and that has a mass of 400 g?

The percent of a solution is calculated by dividing the mass of the solute by the mass of the solution and multiplying by 100. In this case, the percent of the water solution containing 60 g of calcium chloride in a 400 g solution would be (60 g / 400 g) * 100 = 15%.


How many liters of a 90 percent acid solution must be mixed with a 15 percent acid solution to get 600 L of a 80 percent solution?

Mixing 80 liters of 15% solution and 520 liters of 90% solution will give 600 liters of 80% solution.
