QUESTION:
Determine the mass (in g) of each sucrose solution that contains 12 g of sucrose.
(a) 4.1% sucrose by mass
(b) 3.2% sucrose by mass
(c) 12.5% sucrose by mass
ANSWER:Step 1 of 3
Here, we are going to calculate the mass (in g) of each sucrose solution that contains 12 g of sucrose by using the formula of mass percent.
Mass percent is defined as
\(\text { Mass percent }(%)=\frac{\text { Mass of the solute }}{\text { Mass of the solution }}\)
(a) 4.1% sucrose by mass
Given that,
\(\text { Mass percent of sucrose }=4.1 \%=4.1 / 100=0.041\)
Mass of the solute = 12 g
From the equation (1)
\(\begin{array}{l} \text { Mass percent }(\%)=\frac{\text { Mass of the solute }}{\text { Mass of the solution }}\\ \text { Mass of the solution }=\frac{\text { Mass of the solute }}{\text { Mass percent }(\%)}=\frac{12 \mathrm{g}}{0.041}=292.68 \mathrm{g} \end{array}\)
Thus, the mass of each sucrose solution that contains 12 g of sucrose is 292.68 g.
