Question

Calculate the masses of cane sugar and water required to prepare 200 g of 15% mass by solution of cane sugar in water.

Answer 1

mass percentage = mass of solute *100/ mass of solution
                        15%   = mass of suger *100/ 200g
                  so, mass of suger = 15 *200/ 100
                                           = 30 g
   mass of water = mass of solution + mass of suger 
                                        = 200+30
                                        =230g
