Which statement correctly explains mass percentage?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: It gives mass of solute in 100 g solution
Mass percentage is defined as (mass of solute ÷ mass of solution) × 100. Therefore, it tells us how many grams of solute are present in every 100 g of the complete solution. It does not use 100 g of solvent alone; that would give a different basis. Molarity and mole fraction are also different concentration terms.
