Answer

20. g of that solution contains 5.0 g of $LiNO_3$.

Work Step by Step

1. Identify the conversion factors: - Since the $LiNO_3$ solution is 25% (m/m): 25 g (Solute) = 100. g (Solution) So: $\frac{25 \space g \space (Solute)}{100. \space g \space (Solution)}$ and $\frac{100. \space g \space (Solution)}{25 \space g \space (Solute)}$ 2. Calculate the mass of solution that contains 5.0 g of that solute $(LiNO_3)$: $5.0 \space g \space (Solute) \times \frac{100. \space g \space (Solution)}{25 \space g \space (Solute)} = 20. \space g \space (Solution)$
