In which situation is mass percentage more convenient?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: When masses of both components are given
Mass percentage uses the mass of solute and the total mass of solution. If the masses of solute and solvent are supplied, the total mass is found by addition and the percentage follows directly. Temperature or pressure alone provides no mass data, and without any quantity a numerical percentage cannot be calculated.
