how many grams of glucose, C6H12O6 and water are in 600g of 5.5% by mass glucose solution? please indicate the general formula to use to solve this problem.
% by mass = grams solute/100 g solution or
(X/600)*100 = 5.5
X = 600*0.055 = 33 g solute. You can prove that if you wish to know you're right.(33/600(*100 = right! 5.5%
So how much is water and how much is solute.
(If 33g is the solute, then 600-33 = ? must be H2O)
I don't effin know
100
To solve this problem, you need to use the general formula for calculating the amount of a solute in a solution given its percentage by mass.
The general formula is:
Mass of solute = Percentage by mass × Mass of solution
Now let's apply this formula to find the amount of glucose and water in the 600g of 5.5% glucose solution.
1. Calculate the mass of glucose in the solution:
Mass of glucose = 5.5% × 600g
To find 5.5% of 600g, multiply 0.055 (which represents 5.5%) with 600g:
Mass of glucose = 0.055 × 600g
Simplifying this calculation:
Mass of glucose = 33g
So, there are 33 grams of glucose in the 600g solution.
2. Calculate the mass of water in the solution:
Mass of water = Mass of solution - Mass of glucose
Since the total mass of the solution is 600g and the mass of glucose is 33g:
Mass of water = 600g - 33g
Simplifying this calculation:
Mass of water = 567g
Therefore, there are 33 grams of glucose and 567 grams of water in the 600g of 5.5% by mass glucose solution.
