Answer :
a) The solute in solution A is Sodium (Na)
b) The percent concentration of solution A is 4.72 %
Solute is that component of the solution which gets dissolved therefore here sodium is the solute and water is the solvent. Solute is also the minor component of a solution, the component which is present in less amount.
Percent concentration is simply the grams of solute present in 100 grams of a solution.
To calculate the percent concentration, the formula given below could be used
% concentration = [tex]\rm \dfrac{ Mass \ of \ solute}{Mass \ of \ solution} \times 100[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{460}{97.4}[/tex]
= 4.72 %
Therefore,
a) The solute in solution A is Sodium (Na)
b) The percent concentration of solution A is 4.72 %
