A mixture is made by combining 1.49 lb of salt and 3.82 lb of water. What is the percentage of salt (by mass) in this mixture?

28%

Explanation:

concentration=(solute mass/solution mass)*100

C=concentration

md-solute mass

ms-solution mass

the solution mass is equal to the sum of the solute and solvent mass

ms=3.82+1.49=5.31lb

c=1.49/5.31 * 100=0.28*100=28%

in 1783 cavendish was working with his hydrogen gas and found that when he burned it and condensed the vapor it was water. this was very significant since it disproved the greek theory of elements completely since water was not a simple substance but the product of two gases. it was lavoisier who hearing of the experiment gave cavendish's gas the name hydrogen ("water-producer") and added that hydrogen burned by combining with oxygen and that water was a hydrogen-oxygen combination.
