A solution is obtained by mixing 300 g of \(25\%\) solution and 400 g of \(40\%\) solution by mass. Calculate the mass percentage of the resulting solution.
Solution and Explanation
Total amount of solute present in the mixture is given by,
\(300 \times \frac{25}{100} +400\times \frac{40}{100}\)
\(= 75 + 160\)
\(= 235 g\)
Total amount of solution \(= 300 + 400 = 700 g\)
Therefore, mass percentage (w/w) of the solute in the resulting solution,\(= \frac{235}{700} \times 100\%\)
\(= 33.57\%\)
And, mass percentage (w/w) of the solvent in the resulting solution
\(= (100 - 33.57)\%\)
\(= 66.43\%\)

- Ankur Sachdeva did his MBA from ITB University. He decided to apply his knowledge of scientific management in the fast food restaurant chain 'Coffee Bean' set up by him. This restaurant was providing burgers, fries, shakes etc, as a part of its menu. Nowadays people are quality conscious, so he was using standardised raw materials, processes, methods, working conditions, machinery etc. The objective was to establish standards of excellence. By doing this he was not only able to reduce the cost but was also able to provide new varieties of burgers, fries and shakes leading to increased turnover. Ankur Sachdeva also believed that there was only one best method to maximise efficiency. As a result he developed best way of grilling burgers, cooking fries and preparing shakes. His main objective was to maximise the satisfaction of customers, which he was able to achieve. Not only to learn the best way of doing a job, but to perform their tasks efficiently, 'Coffee Bean' regularly invests in training and development programmes to equip employees with the necessary skill and knowledge. 'Coffee Bean' believed that efficient employees will produce more and earn more. This will ensure their greatest efficiency and prosperity for both company and workers. The above case highlights the use of Scientific principles and techniques by 'Coffee Bean'. Explain any one such principle and two techniques.

- Preeti started her own cooking channel on 'Youtube Mood Art'. As her subscribers increased, she was not in a position to manage everything on her own. She hired Rahul and Riya to help her with filming editing, lighting and content research. She granted authority to them to operate within prescribed limits. She was thus, able to use her time on high priority activities like developing new recipes and content development etc. As a result, Rahul and Riya were given opportunities to develop and exercise initiative. Preeti was now able to focus on objectives and meet the target of achieving a subscriber base of one million in six months.

Concepts Used:
Concentration of Solutions
It is the amount of solute present in one liter of solution.
Concentration in Parts Per Million - The parts of a component per million parts (106) of the solution.
Mass Percentage - When the concentration is expressed as the percent of one component in the solution by mass it is called mass percentage (w/w).
Volume Percentage - Sometimes we express the concentration as a percent of one component in the solution by volume, it is then called as volume percentage
Mass by Volume Percentage - It is defined as the mass of a solute dissolved per 100mL of the solution.
Molarity - One of the most commonly used methods for expressing the concentrations is molarity. It is the number of moles of solute dissolved in one litre of a solution.
Molality - Molality represents the concentration regarding moles of solute and the mass of solvent.
Normality - It is the number of gram equivalents of solute present in one liter of the solution and it is denoted by N.
Formality - It is the number of gram formula present in one litre of solution.
