the mass percent of sugar in this solution is 46%.

Answer:

Solution given:

mass of solute=34.5g

mass of solvent=75g

mass percent=[tex]\frac{mass\:of\:solute}{mass\:of \:solvent}*100\%[/tex]

=[tex]\bold{\frac{34.5}{75.0}*100\%=46\%}[/tex]

We know that,

[tex]mass \: solute = \frac{mass \: of \: solute}{mass \: of \: solvent} [/tex]×100

[tex] \frac{34.5}{75.0} = 0.46[/tex]

hope it helps..
