Question: If 10 g of sugar (C12H22O11) is dissolved in 200 g of water, what is the mass percent of the sugar solution? (Molar mass of sugar = 342 g/mol) (2023)
Options:
Correct Answer: 4.76%
Exam Year: 2023
Solution:
Mass percent = (mass of solute / mass of solution) × 100. Mass of solution = 10 g + 200 g = 210 g. Mass percent = (10 g / 210 g) × 100 = 4.76%.
