Asolution of sugar contains 35 gramsof sucrose, c12h22o11in 100 ml of water. what is the percent composition of the solution?

Percent composition of the solution is 26 % of sucrose and 74 % of water

Explanation:

Percent composition is the mass of solute, either of solvent in 100 g of solution.

Mass of solution = Mass of solvent + Mass of solute

Mass of solute = 35 g

Mass of solvent = 100 g

As we know, water density = 1g/mL

So 1g/mL . 100 mL = 100 g

35 g + 100 g = 135 g → Mass of solution

(Mass of solute / Mass of solution) . 100 =

(35 g / 135 g) . 100 = 26 %

(Mass of solvent / Mass of solution) . 100 =

(100 g / 135 g) . 100 = 74 %
