NEET Chemistry Concentration Terms MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Hard-Class 12

Which of the following statements about concentration terms in solutions is correct?

A

A 10% (v/v) ethanol solution means 10 mL of ethanol is mixed with 90 mL of water.

B

Parts per million (ppm) is defined as the mass of solute present in 1,000,000 mL of solution.

C

Mass by volume percentage is the mass of solute contained in 100 mL of solution.

D

The concentration term 'w/V' is specifically used for gases dissolved in liquids.

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

Mass by volume percentage (w/V) is indeed defined as the mass of solute dissolved in 100 mL of the solution, as stated in the NCERT content. Option A is incorrect because it describes volume of ethanol in relation to the total volume incorrectly. Option B misstates the definition of ppm, and option D incorrectly assigns the 'w/V' term to gases.
