Question 1 Report

A solution contains 20g of solute in 180g of solvent. If the solvent is water, what is the concentration of the solution in terms of mass by mass percentage

11.%

22.2%

10%

20%

Answer Details

Mass of Solution = Mass of Solute + Mass of Solvent → 20g + 180g

: Mass of Solution = 200g

Mass Percent = $\frac{M a s s o f S o l u t e}{M a s s o f S o l u t i o n} * 100$

Mass percent = $\frac{20}{200} * 100$

Mass percent = 10%
