Answer:
The mass percent of a solution of 7.6 grams sucrose in 83.4 grams of water is 8.351 %.
Explanation:
Given,
Mass of Sucrose = 7.6 grams
Mass of Water = 83.4 grams
In this solution, Sucrose is solute and water is the solvent.
Mass percent of a solution can be calculated using the formula,
Mass percent = (Mass of Solute/Mass of Solution)(100)
As sucrose is solute, mass of solute = 7.6 grams
As the solution contains both Sucrose and Water,
Mass of solution = 7.6 grams + 83.4 grams = 91 grams
Substituting the values, Mass percent = (7.6/91)(100) = 8.351 %.
