Question

If I make a salt solution that has 1 grams of salt and 9 grams of water the percentage of salt in my solution is _____.
Group of answer choices
1%
10%
90 %
9%

Answer 1

Given:-

→ Mass of salt = 1g

→ Mass of water = 9g

To find:-

→ Percentage of salt in solution

Solution:-

In this solution, salt is solute and water is solvent.

Here,mass of solute and solvent are given. So firstly, let's calculate the total mass of the solution. It can be calculated as follows :-

Mass of solution :-

= Mass of solute + Mass of solvent

= (1 + 9)g

= 10g

Hence, mass of the solution is 10g.

Mass percentage of salt [solute] :-

= Mass of solute/Mass of solution × 100

By substituting values in the above formula, we get:-

= 1/10×100

= 1×10

= 10%

Thus, percentage of salt in the solution

is 10% .

Answer 2

Explanation:

Given:-

→ Mass of salt = 1g

→ Mass of water = 9g

To find:-

→ Percentage of salt in solution

Solution:-

In this solution, salt is solute and water is solvent.

Here,mass of solute and solvent are given. So firstly, let's calculate the total mass of the solution. It can be calculated as follows :-

Mass of solution :-

= Mass of solute + Mass of solvent

= (1 + 9)g

= 10g

Hence, mass of the solution is 10g.

Mass percentage of salt [solute] :-

= Mass of solute/Mass of solution × 100

By substituting values in the above formula, we get:-

= 1/10×100

= 1×10

= 10%

Thus, percentage of salt in the solution

is 10% .
