Percentage solution is the solution which is expressed in % unit.
The formula is given by:
Volume percent= [tex] \frac{volume of solute in mL}{volume of the solution in mL}\times 100 [/tex]
Now, put all the given values of volume of liquid detergent and water in mL to identify the correct answer.
A. Volume percent =[tex] \frac{10 mL}{2 mL}\times 100 [/tex]
= 500 percent
B. Volume percent = [tex] \frac{5 mL}{20 mL}\times 100 [/tex]
= 25 percent
C. Volume percent = [tex] \frac{20 mL}{5 mL}\times 100 [/tex]
= 400 percent
D. Volume percent = [tex] \frac{2 mL}{10 mL}\times 100 [/tex]
= 20 percent
Thus, when volume of liquid detergent is 2 mL and volume of water is 10 mL gives 20 percent solution of liquid detergent for an experiment.
Option (D) is correct answer.
