Jello has a density of 1.14 g/mL. A box of Jello makes 475 mL of Jello and has 13 g of sugar. Determine the % m/m of sugar in the Jello. (Hint: d=m/v) ​

2.34 %

Explanation:

Since the density of the Jello, ρ = 1.14 g/mL and ρ = m/v where m = mass of jello and v = volume of jello = 475 mL.

So, m = ρv

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

m = ρv

m = 1.14 g/mL × 475 mL = 541.5 g

Since we have 13 g of sugar in the jello, the total mass present is 13 g + 541.5 g = 554.5 g

So, the percentage by mass of sugar present % m/m = mass of sugar present/total mass × 100 %

= 13 g/554.5 g × 100 %

= 0.0234 × 100 %

= 2.34 %

So, the percentage by mass of sugar present % m/m = 2.34 %

thats how its supposed to be
