Question

How do you determine the mass percent of a solute in a solution?

• A. $\text{Mass percent}=\frac{\text{mass of solute}}{\text{mass of solution}}\times 100$ %
• B. $\text{Mass percent}=\frac{\text{mass of solution}}{\text{mass of solute}}\times 100$ %
• C. $\text{Mass percent}=\frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{mass of solution}}\times 100$ %
• D. $\text{Mass percent}=\frac{\text{mass of solute}}{\text{moles of solution}}\times 100$ %
• E. $\text{Mass percent}=\frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{moles of solution}}\times 100$ %

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\text{Mass percent}=\frac{\text{mass of solute}}{\text{mass of solution}}\times 100$ %

$\text{Mass percent}=\frac{\text{mass of solute}}{\text{mass of solution}}\times 100$ %
Mass percentage is the grams of solute present in 100 gram of the solution.
