NEET Chemistry Concentration Terms MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

A solution is prepared by dissolving 50 g of glucose (C6H12O6) in 450 g of water. Calculate the mass by volume percentage (w/v) of glucose in the solution, given that the density of the solution is 1.1 g/mL.

A

9.09%

B

11.11%

C

10.00%

D

12.50%

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The mass by volume percentage (w/v) is calculated using the formula: (mass of solute / volume of solution) × 100. Here, the volume of solution can be calculated from the mass and density: 500 g / 1.1 g/mL = 454.55 mL. Therefore, the w/v percentage is (50 g / 454.55 mL) × 100 = 9.09%.
