Question

The mass of a solution needed to obtain a 0.50 g of sucrose from a 12.7 percent m/m sucrose solution is

Answer 1

To find this mass we will use the mass percent concentration formula, which is:

m/m% = mass of solute/mass of solution

We have the percentage already and the mass of the solute, now let's apply to our formula:

0.127 = 0.50/mass of solution, I am using 12.7/100 = 0.127, since it's percent

mass of solution = 3.9 grams, letter A
