Question

How much water should be added to 15 gram of sugar to prepare a 15% sugar solution?

Answer 1

Answer:

85 g

Explanation:

Given :-

sugar = 15 g

sugar solution percentage = 15 %

To Find :-

Mass of water to be added.

Solution :-

we can solve this by using mass percentage formula :-

Mass % = [Mass of solute / Mass of solution] × 100

( Substituting the given values )

15 = [15 / (15 + M)] × 100

15 / 15 = 100 / (15 + M)

15 + M = 100

M = 85 g

Answer 2

Answer:

Answer :

Sugar =15 gram

Sugar solution percentage =15%

To find:

Mass of water to be added .

Solution:

Mass percentage formula :

[mass of solute/ mass of solution ] ×100

substuting the given values :

15 =[ 15 /(15 +m)] × 100

15/15 =100/(15+m)

15+m= 100

5m= 85g
