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

We know that,

`mass \: solute = (mass \: of \: solute)/(mass \: of \: solvent)`×100

`(34.5)/(75.0) = 0.46`

hope it helps..

Answer 2

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

Answer:

Solution given:

mass of solute=34.5g

mass of solvent=75g

mass percent=
`(mass\:of\:solute)/(mass\:of \:solvent)*100\%`

=
`\bold{(34.5)/(75.0)*100\%=46\%}`
