What are your answer choices? Scientists express the weight in AMU’s so that they can easily think about the weight of the atom. If it is expressed in grams, they’re constantly dealing with a weight that’s around 10^-24 grams, which is hard to deal with.
40% solution of glucose is where the solution contains, by weight, 40% glucose and 60% water.
Therefore, if the total weight of the solution is 250 g,
mass of the glucose (C6H12O6) = 250 g * 40% = 100 g
mass of water (H2O) = 250 g * 60% = 150 g
Mass of water can also be calculated by subtracting the weight of glucose from the total weight of the solution:
mass of water = 250g-100g = 150g.
