Answer:

The mass of sucrose in grams required to make 7% weight volume in 100 mL solution of water is 7g

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage weight of a solution is mostly referred to as percentage weight per volume (% w/v). The formula for this is

% w/v = g of solute/100 mL of solvent

sucrose is the solute here while water is the solvent. The mass (in grams) of the solute is the unknown

7% = g of solute/100 mL of water

where 7% equals/the same with 7/100;

7/100 = g of solute/100 mL of water

g of solute = 7 × 100/100

g of solute = 7 g

The mass of sucrose in grams required to make 7% weight volume in 100 mL solution of water is 7g
