Andrea is making a solution of sweet tea, with 20 grams of sugar dissolved in 180
grams of water. Determine the mass percentage of sugar in the sweet tea.

Respuesta :

The mass percentage of sugar in the sweet tea is 10%

From the question,

We are to determine the mass percentage of sugar in the sweet tea

[tex]Mass\ percentage\ of\ sugar\ in\ the\ sweet\ tea = \frac{Mass\ of\ sugar\ in\ the\ solution}{Mass\ of\ the\ solution} \times 100\%[/tex]

Mass of sugar in the solution = 20 g

Mass of the solution = 20g + 180g = 200g

[tex]Mass\ percentage\ of\ sugar\ in\ the\ sweet\ tea = \frac{20}{200} \times 100\%[/tex]

[tex]Mass\ percentage\ of\ sugar\ in\ the\ sweet\ tea = \frac{20}{2} \%[/tex]

∴ Mass percentage of sugar in the sweet tea = 10%

Hence, the mass percentage of sugar in the sweet tea is 10%
