Expert Answer
(a) Government should regulate production and supply of such medicines. There should be a proper law for sale and purchase of such medicines.
(b) The most common way of expressing the concentration of a solution is the 'percentage method'. It refers to the 'percentage of solute' present in the solution.
(c) Mass of glucose (solute) = 30 g
Mass of water and alcohol (solvent) = 300 - 30 = 270 g
So, Concentration = 30 / 270 x 100
= 11.11%
