Question

Calculate the amount of water required to prepare 500g of 2.50%solution of sugar

Answer 1

the amount of the water required = 97.5×5
487.5

Answer 2

Answer : The amount of water required is, 487.5 grams.

Solution : Given,

Total mass of solution = 500 g

First we have to calculate the mass of sugar.

Mass of sugar = $(500g)\times \frac{2.50}{100}=12.5g$

Now we have to calculate the mass of water required.

Mass of water required = Total mass of solution - Mass of sugar

Mass of water required = 500 - 12.5 = 487.5 g

Therefore, the amount of water required is, 487.5 grams.
