Question

Define a solution. A solution contains 50 gm of salt in
450 gm of water. Calculate the concentration of
solution in terms of mass by mass percentage of
solution.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

In chemistry, a solution is a special type of homogeneous mixture composed of two or more substances. In such a mixture, a solute is a substance dissolved in another substance, known as a solvent.

The mass of the common salt (solute) = 50 g   (given)

The mass of water = 450 g   (given)

So,

The total mass of solution = mass of salt + mass of water

so,

mass of solution = 50 g + 450 g

                          = 500 g

Now,

To be found :

The concentration of the solution

We know that,
