G A chemistry student needs of thiophene for an experiment. She has available of a w/w solution of thiophene in benzene. Calculate the mass of solution the student should use. If there's not enough solution, press the "No solution" button. Round your answer to significant digits.

The given question is not complete, the complete question is:

A chemistry student needs 5.00 g of thiophene for an experiment. She has available 0.50 kg of a 28.7% w/w solution of thiophene in benzene, Calculate the mass of solution the student should use. If there's not enough solution, press the "No solution" button Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits. X

The correct answer is 17.4 grams.

Explanation:

As mentioned in the given question, 28.7 percent w/w solution thiophene in benzene shows that,  

(wt. of thiophene / wt. of thiopene + benzene) * 100 = 28.7

0.50 kg of the solution indicates that it is 500 grams of the solution.  

Therefore, the amount of thiophene found in the 500 grams of the solution is,  

500 g * 28.7 / 100 = 143.5 gm

Thus, 143.5 grams of thiophene is found 500 grams of the solution.  

Now, 1 gram of thiophene will be in 500/143.5 of solution.  

Therefore, 5 grams of thiophene will be in 500/143.5 * 5 g of the solution = 17.42 grams of the solution.  

Hence, the mass of the solution to be used by the student in the given case will be 17.4 grams.
