Given:

Mass of common salt (solute) = 41 g

Mass of water (solute) = 320 g

Formula Used:

Concentration of solution = (mass of solute / mass of solution) × 100

calculation:

according to the question

mass of solution = mass of solute + mass of solute

⇒ (41 + 320) g

⇒ 361 g

Now,

Concentration of solution = (mass of solute/mass of solution) × 100

(41/361 × 100)%

⇒ 11.357% ~ 11.36%

The required solution is 11.36%
