Answer #1

Density = Mass / Volume

Mass = Density x Volume

Mass of solution = 1.336 g/mL x 74.6 mL = 99.67 g

You asked for mass of the solution (not mass of solute). Hence answer is upto this.

Additional information:

Assuming that it is a weight/weight percentage,

100 grams of solution will contain 18.0 grams of solute.

1 gram of solution will contain (18/100) grams of solute.

74.6 grams of solution will contain (18/100)(74.6) grams of solute.

74.6 grams of solution will contain 13.428 grams of solute.


If it is weight/volume percentage, then there will be 18.0 grams of solute per 100 mL of solution. Weight/volume is not a true percentage, but instead is a conversion factor.

Notice that the density of the solution isn't used when the percentage is given as weight/volume.
