A solution contains 10g of sugar in 170g of water.Calculate to concentration in terms of mass by mass percentage of the solution
Answers
weight of sugar:10g weight of water:170g weight of solution:180g %w/w:weight of solute/weight of solution^ 100%=5.5%
mass of solute (sugar) =10g
mass of water=170g
mass of the solution=10g+170g=180g
concentration of the solution
=(mass of solute/mass of the solution)×100 =(10/180)×100
=5.55%
Thus, the concentration of this sugar solution is 5.55%(by mass).
