Correct answer: 47

  1. Let the binary solution contain:

    • glucose = xg=0.1x_g = 0.1xg​=0.1 mole fraction
    • water = xw=0.9x_w = 0.9xw​=0.9 mole fraction
  2. Assume total moles of solution = 111 mole

    Then, nglucose=0.1n_{\text{glucose}} = 0.1nglucose​=0.1 nwater=0.9n_{\text{water}} = 0.9nwater​=0.9

  3. Calculate masses using molar masses

    • Molar mass of glucose, C6H12O6C_6H_{12}O_6C6​H12​O6​: 6(12)+12(1)+6(16)=72+12+96=180 g/mol6(12) + 12(1) + 6(16) = 72 + 12 + 96 = 180\,\text{g/mol}6(12)+12(1)+6(16)=72+12+96=180g/mol

    • Molar mass of water, H2OH_2OH2​O: 2(1)+16=18 g/mol2(1) + 16 = 18\,\text{g/mol}2(1)+16=18g/mol

    Hence, mglucose=0.1×180=18 gm_{\text{glucose}} = 0.1 \times 180 = 18\,\text{g}mglucose​=0.1×180=18g mwater=0.9×18=16.2 gm_{\text{water}} = 0.9 \times 18 = 16.2\,\text{g}mwater​=0.9×18=16.2g

  4. Total mass of solution msolution=18+16.2=34.2 gm_{\text{solution}} = 18 + 16.2 = 34.2\,\text{g}msolution​=18+16.2=34.2g

  5. Mass percentage of water % water=16.234.2×100\%\,\text{water} = \frac{16.2}{34.2} \times 100%water=34.216.2​×100 =47.37%= 47.37\%=47.37%

  6. Nearest integer 47\boxed{47}47​

  7. Comparison with stored correct answer

    Stored correct answer = 474747

    Our derived answer also equals 474747, so they agree.
