What is the percent-by-mass, %(m/m), concentration of sucrose ( table sugar) in a solution made by dissolving 22.8 g of sucrose in 41.7 g of water

32.6 %

Explanation:

Given data

Step 1: Calculate the mass of the solution

The mass of the solution is equal to the sum of the mass of the solute and the mass of the solvent.

m(solution) = m(solute) + m(solvent)

m(solution) = 22.8 g + 47.1 g

m(solution) = 69.9 g

Step 2: Calculate the percent-by-mass of sucrose in the solution

We will use the following expression.

the old alchemists made significant contributions to science even though there starting premises were off a bit. their conclusions after failure would steer them into better directions for investigation. science is no more than close observation and the initial mistakes result in rethinking and retrying experiments.
