Question

In $250\text{g}$ of an aqueous sugar solution, $5\text{g}$ of sugar is present. Calculate the percentage composition $\left(w/w\right)$ of the mixture.

• A. $2\%$
• B. $4\%$
• C. $6\%$
• D. $8\%$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $2\%$

Mass of solution $=250\text{g}$
Mass of sugar(solute) $=5\text{g}$
$w/w\%=\frac{5}{250}\times 100$
$=2\%$
