Question

Calculate the amount of water required prepare 500g of 2.5% solution of sugar

Answer 1

Mass percent = mass of solute / massof solution . Hence 487.5 g of water is required to prepare 500g of 2.5 % sugar solution. Assume that 2.5% sugar means percentage by weight. In 500g of sugar solution , there are 500*2.5/100=12.5 grams of sugar.

Answer 2

The amount of water required prepare 500 g of 2.5% solution of sugar is 487.5 g

Explanation:

Mass percent : It is defined as the mass of the given component present in the total mass of the compound.

Formula used :

$\text{Mass} \%=\frac{\text{Mass of sugar}}{\text{Mass of solution}\times 100}$

Mass of solution  = 500 g

Mass of sugar  = ?

 $2.5\%=\frac{\text{Mass of sugar}}{500g}\times 100$

Mass of sugar = 12.5 g

Thus mass of water = mass of solution - mass of sugar = (500 - 12.5) g = 487.5 g
