To calculate the percent concentration of urea in the urine, we can use the formula:
% concentration = (mass of urea / total mass of solution) * 100
First, we need to calculate the mass of urea in the sample of urine:
- The molar mass of urea is 60.05 g/mol
- The concentration of urea in the urine sample is 8.7 g
Now, we can calculate the total mass of the solution (urine sample):
Total mass = mass of urea = 8.7 g
Using the formula above:
% concentration = (8.7 g / 8.7 g) * 100
% concentration = 100%
Therefore, the percent concentration of urea in the urine sample is 100%.
The concentration of urea (CH4N2O) in a sample of urine is 8.7
