To find the grams of mannitol given, we can use the equation:
grams of mannitol = volume of solution (mL) × concentration of solution (m/v)
Plugging in the given values:
grams of mannitol = 25.0 mL × 25.% (m/v)
First, we need to convert the percent concentration to a decimal:
25.% (m/v) = 0.25 (m/v)
Plugging this in:
grams of mannitol = 25.0 mL × 0.25 (m/v)
grams of mannitol = 6.25 grams
Therefore, 6.25 grams of mannitol were given.
