    Mass of sucrose and sucralose = 1.167 g

    Molar mass of sucrose = (C6H8O6)

    = (12*6) + (8*1) + (6*16)

    = 176 g/mol

    Molar mass of = C12H19Cl3O8

    = (12*12) + (19*1) + (35.5*3) + (16*8)

    = 397.5 g/mol

    Pressure, P = 3.67 atm

    Volume, V = 35.9 ml

    Temperature, T = 285 K

    Using PV = nRT

    nt = (3.67 * 35.9 * 10^-3) / (285 * 0.08205)

    = 0.00563 moles.

    Molar mass = mass/number of moles

    let x be the mass of sucralose

    nt = n1 + n2

    0.00563 = (1.167 - x) / 176 + x/397.5

    0.00563 = 0.00663 - 0.0057x + 0.00252x

    0.001 = 0.00318x

    x = 0.3145 g

    Mass % = mass of sample/total mass * 100

    Sucralose mass % = 0.3145/1.167 * 100

    = 26.95%

    Sucrose mass % = (1.167 - 0.3145) / 1.167 * 100

    = 73.05%

    Mass % Vitamin C: 73.3%

    Mass % sucralose: 26.7%

    Explanation:

    The mass of Vitamin C (a) + Sucralose (b) is 1.167g. Thus, it is possible to write:

    a + b = 1.167g (1)

    The osmotic pressure formula in solution is:

    π = i*M*R*T

    Where π is osmotic pressure (3.67atm), i is Van't Hoff factor (1 for Vitamin C and Sucralose), M is molarity of solution (moles / 0.0359L), R is gas constant (0.082atmL/molK) and T is temperature (285K). Replacing:

    3.67atm = 1 * moles / 0.0359L * 0.082atmL/molK * 285K

    0.00564 = moles of solution (Moles of Vitamin C + Sucralose)

    These moles can be written as:

    0.00564 mol = a * (1mol / 176.12g) + b * (1mol / 397.64g) (2)

    Where 176.12 is molar mass of vitamin C and 397.64 is molar mass of sucralose

    Replacing (1) in (2)

    0.00564 = (1.167 - b) / 176.12 + b / 397.64

    0.000986 = 0.003163 b

    0.312g = b. → Mass of sucralose.

    Mass of Vitamin C → 1.167g - 0.312g = 0.855g

    Thus, Mass percent is:

    Mass % Vitamin C: 0.855g / 1.167g * 100 = 73.3%

    Mass % sucralose: 0.312g / 1.167g * 100 = 26.7%
