Answer:
2 %m/v
Explanation:
Step 1: Given data
- Mass of sugar (solute): 5 g
- Volume of solution: 250 mL
Step 2: Calculate the %m/v of sugar in the solution
We will use the following expression.
%m/v = mass of sugar/volume of solution × 100%
%m/v = 5 g/250 mL × 100% = 2 %m/v
This means that there are 2 grams of sugar every 100 milliliters of solution.
