Solution

The correct option is D 2%
Mass of Oxalic acid (solute) = 11g
Mass of Solution = 500ml
Density = 1.1 g/ml
We know that
Mass % of solute = Massofsolute×100Massofsolution×50
Mass of solution = Volume of solution×Density of solution
Mass of solution = 500×1.1=50×11g
Mass % of the solute =11×10011×50=2
the answer is B
