A solution contains 20g of solute in 180g of solvent. If the solvent is water, what is the concentration of the solution in terms of mass by mass percentage?

A

11.%

B

22.2%

C

10%

D

20%

correct option: c

Mass of solution = Mass of solute + Mass of solvent → 20g + 180g

Hence, Mass of solution = 200g

Mass Percent = \(\frac{Mass of Solute}{Mass of Solution} * 100%\)

Mass percent = \(\frac{20}{200} * 100%\)

Mass percent = 10%
