Question

A solution is prepared by dissolving 5.64 g of glucose in 60 g of water. Calculate the mass percent of glucose.

• A. 8.59%
• B. 6.85%
• C. 9.34%
• D. 3.59%

Answer 1

The correct option is A 8.59%

mass percent of glucose = $\frac{\text{mass of glucose}}{\text{mass of glucose +mass of water}}\times 100$

= $\frac{5.64}{5.64+60}\times 100$

= 8.59 percent

answer is A
