III. Example Problems
A. Determine the percent by mass of glucose in a solution if 15.9 grams
of glucose are dissolved in 75.0 mL of water. The density of water =
1.0 g/mL.
mass of solute 15.9g
Percent by mass = × 100 = × 100 = 17.5%
total mass of solution (solute + solvent) 15.9g + 75.0g
(The mass of 75.0 mL of water is 75.0 g since the density is 1.0 g/mL.)
