Mass Percentage

Mass percentage is also called weight by weight concentration of solute, Mass Percent is defined as the amount of solute (in grams) present in 100 gm of the solution.

Mass Percentage = (Mass of the component in the solution / Total mass of the solution) × 100

What is a Solution?

Solutions are a part of our daily lives because they can be found in almost everything we use in our daily lives, such as soda, deodorant, sugar, salt, and so on. A solution is a type of mixture in which two or more substances combine to form a single solution; it can also be described as simple, and its properties may or may not have changed. 

Here in this article, the concept, components, properties, types of solutions based on their nature, and so on. As this is one of the basic concepts from Chapter Solution, this article will help to have a strong foundation in chemistry, to study it in higher classes. So, Let’s get started!

Components of a Solution

There are two parts in a homogeneous combination, the solute and solvent combine to form any solution. A solute is a substance in a solution that has a lower concentration and dissolves in the solvent, which has a higher concentration than the solute. The final state of homogeneous solutions is usually determined by the state of the solvent, though the state of the solute makes no difference in the solution as long as they are soluble in the solvent....
