    TRUE: Percent concentration is one of the most common and basic concentration measurement used by general public

    Explanation:

    In chemistry there are many concentration measurements used to describe the mixtures. Some of them are, percent, molarity, molality, and molar fraction, among others.

    Percent concentration is a popular one because it is commonly understood and used by the non specialist people, i. e. general public.

    The percent concentration of a component is defined as: (amount of component in the mixture / amount of mixture) * 100.

    The amounts may be measured in mass units (e. g grams) or volume units (e. g. mililiters).

    For solutions, mass percent concentration is:

    % = (mass of solute / mass of solution) * 100.

    And voluem percen contration is:

    % = (volume of solute / volume of solution) * 100

    Since percentage is used in many profesional and personal activities, most persons use it.

    For example, rubbing alcohol, that everyone buys in pharmacies, is 70%; vinager, used in the food, is acetic acid at 5% - 8%.
