Answer 1

Answer:

Well, first off you define your percentage concentration. Reasonably we could take a 5∙g mass of potassium salt, and dissolve this in a 95∙mL volume of water, i.e. a 95∙g mass, …and thus percentage by mass is…

percentage by mass=5∙g95∙g+5∙g×100%=??%

And the VOLUME of this solution would not be much different to 95∙mL , in fact, it would be hard to measure the difference. When we read of a percentage in solution, we should make sure as to how the percentage is measured…
