30g of glucose and 20 g common salt is dissolved in 500 mL of water to make solution. Calculate the concentration of a (a) glucose and (b) common salt in terms of mass by mass percentage of the solution. (Density of water = 1 g/mL)

The answer of a is 5.45% and b is 3.64%

Explanation:

Density of water = 1 g/mL

∴ Mass of water (solvent) = 500 g

Mass of solute (glucose) = 30 g

Mass of solute (common salt) = 20g

Mass of solution = (30 + 20 + 500) g = 550 g

Mass percentage of solution for glucose

= Mass of solute (gucose)/Mass of solution × 100

= 30/550 x 100

= 5.45 %

Mass percentage of solution for common salt

= Mass of solute (common salt)/Mass of solution × 100

= 20/550 × 100

= 3.64 %

Thus, The answer of a is 5.45% and b is 3.64%

hope it's helpful

the answer is b because, investigating whether another species of moth also drinks tears might be interesting, but it would not directly explain why this species of moth does.

to explain why this species of moth drinks tears, the scientist could ask: "what nutrients that moths need are in elephant tears? "

the scientist could experiment with moth repellent or oter ways to keep the moths away, but that would not answer his original question.
