During an experiment the students were asked to prepare a (Mass/Mass) solution of sugar in water. Ramesh dissolved 10 g of sugar in 100 g of water while Sarika prepared it by dissolving 10 g of sugar in water to make 100 g of the solution
(a) Are the two solutions of the same concentration?
(b) Compare the mass of the two solutions.
Solution:
Mass Percent: amount of solute in 100 gram of solution.
Mass percent(%)
Ramesh’s Solution:
Mass percent(%)
Sarika’s Solution:
Mass percent(%)
Part a: Sarika has higher mass percentage than Ramesh.
Part b: The mass percentage ratio of Sarika and Ramesh is 10: 9.0909
