Given

Mass of Oxalic acid (solute) = 11g

Mass of Solution = 500ml

Density = 1.1 g/ml

We know that

Mass %% of solute = MassofsoluteMassofsolution×100MassofsoluteMassofsolution×100

Mass of solution = Volume of solution ××Density of solution

Mass of solution =500×1.1=50×11g500×1.1=50×11g

Mass %% of the solute =11×10011×50=2%11×10011×50=2%

∴Mass%∴Mass% of oxalic acid in the solution = 2
