Question

The term percent is Latin, and it means "for every hundred." Thus, a percentage can be referred to as parts per 100 parts. For example, consider that 70 ml of water is present in 100 ml of cytoplasm. You can say that 70% of cytoplasm is water. This demonstrates that the percentage of a substance is the amount of the substance present for every one hundred parts of its sample. Given that a 14.00 g milk chocolate bar contains 9.000 g of sugar, calculate the percentage of sugar present in 14.00 g of milk chocolate bar keeping in mind that the answer should have four significant figures (two decimal places).

Explanation / Answer

C)
percentage sugar = mass of sugar *100 / total mass
= 9.000*100 / 14.00
= 64.29 %
Answer: 64.29 %
