Mass percentage : The percentage by mass means the mass of the solute in grams dissolved in 100 g of the solution
Mass percentage of a component in a solution is the mass of that particular component present in 100 g of the solution
In a binary solution of two components A and B
Mass percentage of A `= ("Mass of A")/(" Mass of A + Mass of B") xx 100`
Mass percentage of B `= ("Mass of B")/(" Mass of A + Mass of B") xx 100`
It has no units. As it is a weight /weight (w/w) relationship. it is independent of temperature .
