Pls if the percent (mass/mass) for a solute is 4% and the mass of the solution is 200 g, what is the mass of solute in solution? 8.0 g 50 g 80 g 800 g

Answer : The correct option is, (a) 8.0 g

Solution : Given,

Percent of solute = 4 %

Mass of solution = 200 g

Mass by mass percent (m/m)% : It is defined as the mass of solute present in the mass of solution.

Formula used :

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the mass of solute.

Therefore, the mass of solute in solution is, 8.0 g
