Question

A solution contains 50 g of common salt in 500 ml of water.Calculate the concentration in terms of mass by volume %
.​

Answer 1

Mass by volume percentage will be equal to 10%

Given:

• According to the question statement, we are given that
• Mass of solute = 50g
• Volume of solution (V) = 500 ml

Solution:

• Mass by volume percentage = mass of solute / volume of solution x 100
• After inserting the values, we will get
• Mass by vol % = 50 g / 500 ml x 100
• Mass by vol % = 0.1 x 100 = 10 %

Thus mass by volume percentage will be equal to 10%
