What is the mass percent of sodium chloride in a solution pr

What is the mass percent of sodium chloride in a solution prepared by adding 1.00 g of sodium chloride to 50.0 g of water??

Choices are:

2.00%, 1.96%, 10.1%, or 1.00%

Solution

Answer:-

Therefore the formula of mass percent is,

Mass percent = [mass of solute / (mass of solute + mass of solution)] × 100%

                        = [1.00g / (1.00g + 50g)] × 100%

                        = 1.96%
