Question

The mass of solute per 100 mL of solution is abbreviated as (m/v). Mass is not technically the same thing as weight, but the abbreviation (w/v) is also common. How many grams of sucrose are needed to make 765 mL of a 31.0 % (w/v) sucrose solution?

Answer 1

Answer:

There are needed 237.15 g of sucrose.

Explanation:

The 31.0 % (w/v) of the sucrose solution means that in 100 ml of solution, you have 31 g of solute, in this case sucrose.

So you want to make a solution with 765 mL.

Let's think the rule of three:

100 mL solution__contain __31 g sucrose

765 mL solution _________ (765 . 31 ) /100 = 237.15 g
