A 2.5% (by mass) solution concentration signifies that there is of solute in every 100 g of solution. 2. therefore, when 2.5% is expressed as a ratio of solute mass over solution mass, that mass ratio would be . 3. a solution mass of 1 kg is times greater than 100 g, thus one kilogram (1 kg) of a 2.5% ki solution would contain of ki.
