Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the total mass of the solution that contains 60.0 g of glucose, we use the percentage by mass formula: $\text{mass of solute (glucose) / mass of solution} = \text{percentage by mass}$. Given that the solution is 29.0% glucose by mass, we rearrange the formula to solve for the mass of the solution: $\text{mass of solution} = \text{mass of glucose} / \text{percentage by mass}$. Plugging in the values, we get $60.0 \text{ g} / 0.29 = 206.9 \text{ g}$, which rounds to 207 g.
