Answer:
7.77%(m/m) ; 92.22%(m/m)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
17.5 grams of sugar in 225 grams of an aqueous sugar solution
Percentage by mass of A in a solution (mass percent) = (mass of A / total mass of solution) × 100
Hence,
Percentage by mass of sugar:
= (mass of sugar / total mass of solution) * 100
= (17.5 / 225) × 100
= 0.0777777 × 100 = 7.77%(m/m)
Mass of water(solvent) = (225 - 17.5)g = 207.5g
= (207.5 / 225) × 100
= 0.922222 × 100 = 92.22%(m/m)
