Question: If 10 g of sugar is dissolved in 100 g of water, what is the mass percentage of sugar in the solution? (2023)
Options:
Correct Answer: 10%
Exam Year: 2023
Solution:
Mass percentage = (mass of solute / mass of solution) × 100. Mass of solution = 10 g + 100 g = 110 g. Mass percentage = (10 g / 110 g) × 100 = 9.09%, approximately 10%.
