Solution Concentration | MCQs

Explanation

• When a saturated solution is diluted, the concentration of the solute decreases, and the solution becomes unsaturated.
• This means that the solution can still dissolve more solute than it currently contains.

Explanation

A 10% (w/w) sugar solution means that 10 grams of sugar (the solute) is dissolved in 90 grams of water (the solvent), making a total of 100 grams of solution.

The percentage is calculated as:

(10 g sugar / 100 g total) × 100% = 10% (w/w)

So, 10 grams of sugar is dissolved in 90 grams of water.
