Mr. Harry's new baby is sick and not nursing well. The doctor suggests Pedialytewhich is a dilute sugar solution along with vitamin C. If there are 25 grams ofdextrose dissolved in 1000 g of solution, what is the percent concentration?



Answer :

Answer

2.5%

Explanation

The percentage by mass of a solution can be calculated by dividing the mass of the solute by the mass of the solvent, then, multiplied by 100.

[tex]Percent\text{ }concentration=\frac{Mass\text{ }of\text{ }solute}{Mass\text{ }of\text{ }solution}\times100[/tex]

According to this question, 25 grams of dextrose is dissolved in 1000 grams of solution. The percent concentration is calculated as follows:

[tex]Percent\text{ }concentration=\frac{25g}{1000g}\times100=2.5\%[/tex]

Therefore, If there are 25 grams of dextrose dissolved in 1000 g of solution, the percent concentration is 2.5%
