One thing that does not change is the chemical composition of water, which is still H2O. And maybe mass, if all of the particles remain inside the beaker, which was never mentioned in the question so I am not sure.
The answer would be 20% (B)
Answer:
Molecular compounds consist of two or more nonmetals. The nonmetals that make up a molecular compound are held together by covalent/molecular bonds. Covalent bonds is known as the "sharing" of valence electrons between two or more chemical species. Valence electrons are shared so that the atoms of the compound can become stable, much like how ionic bonds transfer valence electrons between atoms to achieve stability.
Answer: Correct options are as follows.
- salt is not chemically bonded to water.
- salt and water retain their own chemical properties.
Explanation:
When salt is dissolved in water then it means that it is a physical change as salt has completely dissociated into ions but they are not chemically combined to the water molecules.
As a result, both salt and water will retain their chemical properties.
For example, NaCl when dissolved in water will dissociate as follows.

Only the particles of salt have evenly distributed in water.
And, when a components of a salt chemically combine with another substance then it will form a new compound.
Therefore, we can conclude that salt dissolved in water is a solution, therefore:
- salt is not chemically bonded to water.
- salt and water retain their own chemical properties.
To answer this, we use Raoult's Law where the partial pressure is equal to the product of the fraction of the gas in the mixture and its total pressure. Also, we use Dalton's Law of Partial Pressure where the total pressure is equal to the sum of the partial pressure of the gases in the mixture.
Ptotal = 73.44 + 128.52 + 2.04 = 204 atm
201.96 = x (204)
x = 0.99
