What does a 10 percent mass by mass solution mean?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 10 g solute in 100 g solution
A 10% mass-by-mass solution contains 10 parts by mass of solute in every 100 parts by mass of the complete solution. Thus it means 10 g solute in 100 g solution, with the remaining 90 g being solvent if only two components are present. It does not mean 10 g in 100 g solvent.
