Plz solve

A 20-g sample of sugar is dissolved in 59 g of water. The concentration of the solution is

Hint Water is a solvent​

Answer 1

0.98 M

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Mass of sugar = 20 g

Mass of water = 59 g

Concentration of solution = ?

Solution:

1 g = 0.01 L

59 g× 0.01 L/1 g

0.059 L

Concentration formula:

C = m/v

m = moles of solute

v = volume of solution

Number of moles of sugar:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 20 g/ 342.3 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.058 mol

Now we will calculate the concentration:

C = 0.058 mol/0.059 L

C = 0.98 mol/L

C = 0.98 M
