Explanation

The concentration is determined by dividing the mass of the solute by the volume of the solution. This question assesses the understanding of how to calculate concentration from mass and volume.

Common mistake

Common Mistake in Concentration Calculations

Students often confuse the units of mass and volume when calculating concentration, leading to incorrect answers.

Always ensure that mass is in grams and volume is in cubic decimeters (dm³) before performing the calculation.
