Question

a solution contains 60g of sugar in 480 g of water calculate the concentration of sugar in terms of mass by mass percentage of the solution

Answer 1

Mass of solute (sugar)=60 g

Mass of solvent (water)=480 g

Mass of solution=Mass of solute (sugar)+Mass of solvent (water)

=(60+480 )g

=540 g

Concentration of sugar in terms of mass by mass percentage of the solution=

=(Mass of solute×100)/Mass of solution

=(60×100)/540

=11.1%

Concentration of sugar in terms of mass by mass percentage of the solution is 11.1%.

Answer 2

Answer:

Mass of solute (sugar)=60 g

Mass of solvent (water)=480 g

Mass of solution=Mass of solute (sugar)+Mass of solvent (water)

=(60+480 )g

=540 g

Concentration of sugar in terms of mass by mass percentage of the solution=

=(Mass of solute×100)/Mass of solution

=(60×100)/540

=11.1%

Concentration of sugar in terms of mass by mass percentage of the solution is 11.1%.
