Answer to Question #88909 in General Chemistry for Brooklynn

Question

How did you go from .055(m(solute)+600))=m(solute) to -0.945•m(solute)=-33

Answer 1

$$0.055(m(solute)+600)= m(solute)$$

$$0.055\times m(solute)+ 0.055\times 600= m(solute)$$

$$0.055\times m(solute)+33= m(solute)$$

$$0.055\times m(solute)-m(solute)= -33$$

$$m(solute)\times(0.055-1)=-33$$

$$-0.945\times m(solute)=-33$$

$$m(solute)=\frac{-33}{-0.945}$$

$$m(solute)= 34.92$$
