Question

calculate concentration of solution when 100 grams of sugar present in 500 grams of solution

Answer 1

Answer:

600 grams is the correct answer

Answer 2

Given: weight of solute: 100 grams

           weight of solution: 500 grams

To find: concentration of solution

Step by step explanation:

Concentration of any solution is the amount of solute present in given amount of solution or solvent.

Concentration can be expressed in:

• Molarity
• Molality
• Normality
• mass percent
• volume percent

Mass percent ( expressed as w/w%)

mass percent of any solution is defined as  the amount of solute (in grams) present in 100 grams of solution.

$mass percent= \frac{weight of solute}{weight of solution} \times 100$

$=\frac{100}{500}\times 100\\=20$

mass percent w/w% = 20%

Hence, concentration in terms of mass percent is 20%.
