Please help me with this chemistry problem

50 g of K₂CO₃ are needed

Explanation:

How many grams of K₂CO₃ are needed to make 500 g of a 10% m/m solution?

We analyse data:

500 g is the mass of the solution we want

10% m/m is a sort of concentration,  in this case means that 10 g of solute (K₂CO₃) are contained in 100 g of solution

Therefore we can solve this, by a rule of three:

In 100 g of solution we have 10 g of K₂CO₃

In 500 g of solution we may have, (500 . 10) / 100 = 50 g of K₂CO₃

each chemical family is represented as a group or column on the periodic table. based on chemical properties, there are 6 types of chemical families. group 1 represents alkali metals, group 2 represents alkaline earth metals, groups 3 to 12 represent transition metals, groups 13 to 16 represent non-metals and other metals, group 17 represents halogens and group 18 represents noble gases.
