Question

Choose the correct statement regarding given percentage concentration terms.

• A. $\%w/w$ is defined as the weight in grams of the solute per $100\text{g}$ of the solution
• B. $\%w/w$ is defined as the weight in grams of the solute per $100\text{g}$ of the solvent
• C. $\%w/V$ is defined as the weight in grams of the solute per $1000\text{mL}$ of the solution
• D. $\%w/V$ is defined as the weight in grams of the solute per $100\text{mL}$ of the solvent

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\%w/w$ is defined as the weight in grams of the solute per $100\text{g}$ of the solution

Percentage concentration terms:
(a) $\%w/w$:
It is defined as the weight in grams of the solute per $100\text{g}$ of the solution.​

(b) $\%w/V$:
It is defined as the weight in grams of the solute per $100\text{mL}$ of the solution.
