A solution is prepared by dissolving 15g of cane sugar in 60g warer. Coompute the mass per cent of each component of solution.

Answer

To compute the mass percent of each component in the solution, we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Determine the mass of the solution
The mass of the solution is the sum of the mass of cane sugar and the mass of water.

- Mass of cane sugar = 15 g
- Mass of water = 60 g

**Calculation:**
\[ \text{Mass of solution} = \text{Mass of cane sugar} + \text{Mass of water} = 15 \, \text{g} + 60 \, \text{g} = 75 \, \text{g} \]

### Step 2: Calculate the mass percent of cane sugar
The mass percent of a component in a solution is calculated using the formula:
\[ \text{Mass percent} = \left( \frac{\text{Mass of component}}{\text{Mass of solution}} \right) \times 100 \]

For cane sugar:
\[ \text{Mass percent of cane sugar} = \left( \frac{15 \, \text{g}}{75 \, \text{g}} \right) \times 100 \]

**Calculation:**
\[ \text{Mass percent of cane sugar} = \left( \frac{15}{75} \right) \times 100 = 20\% \]

### Step 3: Calculate the mass percent of water
Using the same formula for water:
\[ \text{Mass percent of water} = \left( \frac{\text{Mass of water}}{\text{Mass of solution}} \right) \times 100 \]

For water:
\[ \text{Mass percent of water} = \left( \frac{60 \, \text{g}}{75 \, \text{g}} \right) \times 100 \]

**Calculation:**
\[ \text{Mass percent of water} = \left( \frac{60}{75} \right) \times 100 = 80\% \]

### Final Answer
- Mass percent of cane sugar = 20%
- Mass percent of water = 80%
