Question
### Determining Mass Percent of Vitamin C and Sucralose from Osmotic Pressure

#### Problem Description:

A 1.171 gram sample contains only two components: Vitamin C (ascorbic acid, chemical formula \( \text{C}_6\text{H}_8\text{O}_6 \)) and sucralose (chemical formula \( \text{C}_{12}\text{H}_{19}\text{Cl}_3\text{O}_8 \)). 

When this sample is dissolved in water, making a solution with a total volume of 29.1 mL, the osmotic pressure (\( \pi \)) of the solution is observed to be 4.57 atm at a temperature of 295 K. 

The goal is to determine the mass percent of Vitamin C and sucralose in the sample.

#### Required Information:
 
1. **Osmotic Pressure (\( \pi \))**: The osmotic pressure is given by:
   \[
   \pi = iCRT
   \]
   where \( i \) is the van't Hoff factor (assumed to be 1 for non-electrolytes), \( C \) is the molar concentration of the solution, \( R \) is the gas constant (0.0821 L·atm/mol·K), and \( T \) is the temperature in Kelvin.

2. **Molecular Weights**:
   - Vitamin C (C₆H₈O₆): \[ 6(12) + 8(1) + 6(16) = 176 \text{ g/mol} \]
   - Sucralose (C₁₂H₁₉Cl₃O₈): \[ 12(12) + 19(1) + 3(35.5) + 8(16) = 397.5 \text{ g/mol} \]

#### Calculation Steps:

1. **Calculate Molarity (C)**:
   \[
   \pi = CRT \implies C = \frac{\pi}{RT} = \frac{4.57 \text{ atm}}{0.0821 \text{ L·atm/mol·K} \times 295 \text{ K}}
   \]

2. **Determine Moles of Solute**:
   The total moles of solute can be calculated using
