SUMMARY
The mass/mass concentration of a solution is calculated by dividing the mass of the solute by the total mass of the solution. In the case of dissolving 10g of CaF2 in 100g of water, the total mass of the solution is 110g. Therefore, the correct calculation for mass/mass concentration is 10g (solute) divided by 110g (solution), resulting in a concentration of 0.091.
