Question

If 110g of salt is present in 550g of solution. Calculate the mass percentage of the solution

Answer 1

Mass percentage of solution =

$\frac{mass \: ofsolute}{mass \: ofsolution} \times 100$

Here mass of solute = 110g

mass of solution =550g

Therefore mass % of solution =

$\frac{110}{550} \times 100 \\ = \frac{1}{5} \times 100 \\ = 20\%$

Answer is 20%.

Hope this clears your doubt!
