Chapter 13, Problem 4SAQ

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: In $58.2\text{ mL}$ solution, the mass of glucose is to be determined.

Concept Introduction: The common method for reporting the solution concentration is mass percent.

The mass $\left(m\right)$ is defined as the product of density $\left(d\right)$ and volume $\left(V\right)$.

$m=V\times d$

The mass percent of solution is termed as the ratio of mass of solute to the mass of

solution (solute and solvent) multiply by 100%

$\text{Mass percent}=\frac{\text{Mass solute}}{\text{Mass solute}+\text{Mass solvent}}\times 100\%$
