The concentration of the solution is 16.67%.
Given:
A solution containing 50gm of glucose in 250 gm of water.
To Find:
The concentration of the solution.
Solution:
Since glucose mass is smaller than water, it is the solute here and water is the solvent.
Mass of solute= 50gm
Mass of solvent= 250gm
Total mass of solution= mass of solute + mass of solvent
= 50 + 250
= 300gm
We can find the concentration of the solution using the following formula,
Concentration of solution = (Mass of solute x 100) / Mass of solution
= (50 x 100)/ 300
= 16.67%
Hence the concentration of the solution is 16.67%
