Answer:

Mass of CaClâ‚‚ 136.9 g

Mass of water 223.4 g

Explanation:

The 38% by mass, means that the solution contains 38 g of CaClâ‚‚ in 100 g of solution.

So, if the total mass of solution is 360.3 g let's make a rule of three to find out the mass of solute.

100 g _____ 38 g CaClâ‚‚

360.3 g _____ (360.3 g . 38g)/ 100 g = 136.9 g of CaClâ‚‚

Total mass of solution = 360.3 g →  Mass of solvent + Mass of solute

360.3 g = Mass of solvent + 136.9 g

360.3 g - 136.9 g  = Mass of solvent → 223.4 g
