Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A water molecule is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Its molecular formula is H_{2}O.

It is known that hydrogen is electropositive in nature whereas oxygen is electronegative in nature. Therefore, oxygen will pull the electron of hydrogen towards itself as a result, there will be formation of partial positive charge on hydrogen and partial negative charge on oxygen atom.

Thus, the water molecule becomes polar. So, we can conclude that water molecule is a polar molecule because water molecules have a positive charge on one end and a negative charge on  the other.

4g of sugar is dissolved in 46 g of water calculate the concentration as percent by mass
Lina20 [59]
The  concentration as  %  by  mass  is  calculated as below

mass  of  solute/mass of  solvent x100
mass of  solute(sugar) = 4g
mass of   solvent(water) =46  g

= 4g/  46 g x100 = 8.7%
