Question

A solution is made by mixing 34.5 g of sugar with 75.0 g of water. What is the mass percent of sugar in this solution?

Please explain and show work.

Answer 1

the mass percent of sugar in this solution is 46%.

Answer:

Solution given:

mass of solute=34.5g

mass of solvent=75g

mass percent=$\frac{mass\:of\:solute}{mass\:of \:solvent}*100\%$

=$\bold{\frac{34.5}{75.0}*100\%=46\%}$

Answer 2

We know that,

$mass \: solute = \frac{mass \: of \: solute}{mass \: of \: solvent}$×100

$\frac{34.5}{75.0} = 0.46$

hope it helps..
