Three students A, B, and C wanted to prepare a 60% (W/V) solution of sodium chloride. A dissolved 60 g of the salt in 100 mL of water, B dissolved 60 g of the salt in 100 g of water and C dissolved 60 g of the salt in water and made the volume of the solution to 100 mL. Which of them made the desired solution. Justify by calculating the strength of each.
Solute: A substance that is present in less quantity in solution.
Solvent: A substance that is present in more quantity in solution.
Student C will make the desired solution.
So, student c is correct.
Incorrect:
Student A dissolved 60 g of the salt in 100 mL of water.
Student B dissolved 60 g of the salt in 100 g of water.
