Options

A

Volume by Volume percentage of a solution

B

Volume by Mass percentage of a solution

C

Mass by volume percentage of a solution

D

Mass by mass percentage of a solution

Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option B

Volume by Mass percentage of a solution

Solution :

Correct Answer: Volume by Mass percentage of a solution


Explanation:

Concentration of a solution is defined as the amount of solute present in a given quantity of solution or solvent. In chemistry, standard methods for expressing concentration based on mass and volume ratios include:


1. Mass by Mass percentage (w/w %): It represents the mass of solute in grams present in 100 grams of the solution.

Mass %=Mass of soluteMass of solution×100


2. Volume by Volume percentage (v/v %): It represents the volume of solute in mL present in 100 mL of the solution.

Volume %=Volume of soluteVolume of solution×100


3. Mass by Volume percentage (w/v %): It represents the mass of solute in grams present in 100 mL of the solution.

Mass by Volume %=Mass of soluteVolume of solution×100


Volume by Mass percentage (expressing volume of solute per unit mass of solution) is not a standard or accepted unit for expressing the concentration of a solution in general chemical analysis.
