While performing the experiment with raisins to determine the percentage of water absorbed by them, a student made the following measurements:Mass of water in the beaker = 40 gMass of raisins before soaking = 5 gMass of raisins after soaking for 2 hours = 8 gMass of water left in the beaker after three experiments = 35 g The percentage of water absorbed by raisins is:$(A) \frac{40 g -35 g}{35 g} ×100$$(B) \frac{40 g- 35 g}{40 g} ×100$$(C) \frac{8 g-5 g}{8 g} ×100$$(D) \frac{8g - 5g}{5 g} ×100$
$(D) \frac{8g - 5g}{5 g} ×100$
Explanation
The percentage of water absorbed by raisins is calculated by using the formula:
$\frac{{W}_{2}-{W}_{1}}{{W}_{1}}\times 100$
where W2 = the weight of wet resin and W1 = the weight of the dry resin.
