Answer 1

Here is the answer
Hope it helps!!

Answer 2

Answer : The mass percent of solute in solution is 9.09 %.

Solution : Given,

Mass of solute = 5 g

Mass of solvent (water) = 50 g

First we have to calculate the mass of solution.

Mass of solution = Mass of solute + Mass of solvent

Mass of solution = 5 + 50 = 55 g

Now we have to calculate the mass percent of the solute in solution.

Mass % = $\frac{\text{ Mass of solute}}{\text{ Mass of solution}}\times 100$

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get

Mass % = $\frac{5g}{55g}\times 100=9.09%$

Therefore, the mass percent of solute in solution is 9.09 %.
