We know that,


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


(34.5)/(75.0) = 0.46

hope it helps..

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\%}
