Question

1.2 g of sucrose is added to water with the final volume of 75 ml. What is the concentration of sucrose in %w/v?

Answer 1

16 g/L

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:-

Mass of sucrose added = 1.2 g

Volume of water = 75 mL = 0.075 L ( 1mL = 0.001 L )

%w/v is defined as the mass of the solution in 1 L of the solution.

So,

`\%\ w/v=(Mass_(solute))/(Volume_(Solution))`

`\%\ w/v=(1.2\ g)/(0.075\ L)=16\ g/L`
