A solution is prepared by adding 2 g of ' ' X '' to 1 mole of water. Mass percent of '' X '' in solution is
Options
- A5 %
- B20 %
- C2 %
- D10 %
Correct answer
D. 10 %
Step-by-step solution
To calculate the mass percent of ''X'' in the solution, we need to determine the mass of ''X'' and the total mass of the solution. Given: :Solute ( X ) = 2   g Solvent ( H 2 O )   =   1   mole   =   18   g Total mass =   2   +   18   =   20   g Mass percent of X = 2 2 + 18 × 100 = 10
