What comparison is made in mass-volume percentage?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Mass of solute and volume of solution.
Mass-volume percentage is defined as (mass of solute ÷ volume of solution) × 100. It is commonly reported as grams of solute present in 100 mL of the final solution. Therefore, option A gives both required quantities in the correct order. Option B reverses the types of quantities, while C is a mass comparison and D is a volume comparison, so neither represents mass-volume percentage.
