\(1 \mathrm{~g}\) of a solute is added to \(18 \mathrm{~g}\) of water. In this aqueous solution, what is the mass per cent of the solute?

  1. A \(2 \%\)
  2. B \(5 \%\)
  3. C \(1 \%\)
  4. D \(10 \%\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(5 \%\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Mass \(\%\) of solute \(=\frac{\text { Mass of solute }}{\text { Mass of solution }} \times 100\) Mass of solute \(=1 \mathrm{~g}\) Mass of solvent \(=18 \mathrm{~g}\) Mass of solution \(=1+18=19 \mathrm{~g}\) \(\therefore\) Mass \(\%\) of solute \(=\frac{1}{19} \times 100\)…
