Question

In a can of soda (335 grams of soda ) there are 33g of sugar. What is the mass percent of sugar in soda?

Answer 1

Answer:

9.85% is the mass percent

Explanation:

Mass percent can be determined as mass of solute in 100 g of solution

The solution is soda

Sugar is the solute

(mass of solute / total mass of solution) . 100 =

(33 g / 335g) . 100 = 9.85%

Answer 2

Answer: The mass percent of sugar in soda is 9.85 %

Explanation:

To calculate the mass percentage of sugar in soda, we use the equation:

$\text{Mass percent of sugar}=\frac{\text{Mass of sugar}}{\text{Mass of soda}}\times 100$

Mass of sugar = 33 g

Mass of soda = 335 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Mass percent of sugar}=\frac{33g}{335g}\times 100=9.85\%$

Hence, the mass percent of sugar in soda is 9.85 %
