Question

A solution of sugar in water has 51 % concentration . How much sugar is present in 250 gram of solution

Answer 1

Given:-

• The Solution if sugar in water has 51% Concentration.

• Mass of Solution = 250g

To Find:-

• Mass of Sugar

Formulae used:-

• Mass by Mass % = $\sf{\dfrac{Mass\:of\:solute\times{100}}{Mass\:of\: Solution}}$

Now,

Let the Mass of sugar be "x"

→ Mass by Mass Percentage = $\sf{\dfrac{Mass\:of\:solute\times{100}}{Mass\:of\: Solution}}$

→ 51 = $\sf{\dfrac{x\times{100}}{250}}$

→ 51 = $\sf{\dfrac{100x}{250}}$

→ 51 × 250 = 100x

→ 12750 = 100x

→ x = 12750/100

→ x = 127.5g

Hence, The mass of sugar is 127.5g.
