Answer:

15%

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass of sugar = 15 g

Mass of water = 85 g

Percentage of sugar in the solution =?

Next, we shall determine the mass of the solution. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of solute (sugar) = 15 g

Mass of solvent (water) = 85 g

Mass of solution =?

Mass of solution = mass of solute + mass of solvent

Mass of solution = 15 + 85

Mass of solution = 100 g

Finally, we shall determine the percentage of the sugar in the solution. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of solute (sugar) = 15 g

Mass of solution = 100 g

Percentage of sugar in the solution =?

Percentage = solute /solution × 100

Percentage = 15 / 100 × 100

Percentage of sugar in the solution = 15%

Why atoms in our body don’t <br><br>eject electrons?

Zolol [24]

Answer:

When there are too many protons, some of the outer protons are loosely bound and more free to react with the electron. But most atoms do not have too many protons, so there is nothing for the electron to interact with. As a result, each electron in a stable atom remains in its spread-out wavefunction shape.

In an atom, there is a nucleus made up of neutral charged, neutrons, and positively charged protons. The reason why electrons which are negatively charged, don't fly off is due to its stronger attraction to the protons. ... This, however, still allows the electrons to move around the nucleus of an atom.
