The goal of this exercise is to determine the physical quantity of the given units, which we can answer by reviewing the concept of unit analysis.

The given unit, gram of solute per 100 grams of solution (g solute/100 g solution), is a physical quantity of mass percent (m/m%) concentration which is defined by the formula below:

mass percent=mass of solute (g)mass of solution (100 g)×100%\text{mass percent} = \dfrac{\text{mass of solute (g)}}{\text{mass of solution (100 g)}} \times 100 \%
