Q10 / 90 · JEE Main 2023 (11 Apr Shift 2) · Chemistry

A solution is prepared by adding 2 g of ''X'' to 1 mole of water. Mass percent of ''X''in solution is 

  • A
    5%
  • B
    20%
  • C
    2%
  • Correct answer
    D
    10%

Solution

To calculate the mass percent of ''X'' in the solution, we need to determine the mass of ''X'' and the total mass of the solution.

Given:

:Solute (X) = 2 g

Solvent (H2O) = 1 mole = 18 g

Total mass = 2 + 18 = 20 g

 Mass percent of X=22+18×100=10

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
