Multiple Choice Options

  • A 20%
  • B 10%
  • C 2%
  • D 5%

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

First, we need to calculate the mass of 1 mole of water (H2O). The molecular weight of water is 18 g/mol, so 1 mole of water weighs 18 g.

The total mass of the solution is the mass of "X" plus the mass of water, which is 2 g + 18 g = 20 g.

We can calculate the mass percent of "X" in the solution with the following formula:

Mass percent of "X"=(mass of "X"total mass of solution)×100%\text{Mass percent of "X"} = \left(\frac{\text{mass of "X"}}{\text{total mass of solution}}\right) \times 100\%

Substitute the given values into the formula :

Mass percent of "X"=(2 g20 g)×100%=10%\text{Mass percent of "X"} = \left(\frac{2 \, \text{g}}{20 \, \text{g}}\right) \times 100\% = 10\%

Therefore, Option B, 10%10\% , is the correct answer.
