Answer:

The mass percentage of the solvent is 94.3% by mass.

Explanation:

We prepare a solution dissolving 11.9 g KMnO₄(solute) in 198g H₂O(solvent). The mass of the solution is:

mass of solution = mass of solute + mass of solvent

mass of solution = 11.9g + 198g = 210g

The mass percentage of the solvent is:

[tex]\% H_{2}O = \frac{massH_{2}O}{massofsolution} \times 100\% = \frac{198g}{210g} \times 100\% = 94.3\%[/tex]
