Which option gives the correct relation for mass percentage?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Mass of solute/mass of solution × 100
Mass percentage compares the mass of solute with the total mass of the solution, not with solvent volume. Use the formula: mass percentage = (mass of solute ÷ mass of solution) × 100. The factor 100 changes the fraction into a percentage. Options C and D describe other concentration ideas, while B mixes incompatible quantities.
