Final answer:

When 1 gram of sugar is dissolved in 10 grams of water, the mass of the dissolved sugar is 1 gram and the mass of the water remains 10 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mass of the dissolved sugar in this solution can be calculated by taking the mass of the solution and subtracting the mass of the water. In this case, the mass of the solution is 11 grams (1 gram of sugar + 10 grams of water). Since the mass of the water is 10 grams, the mass of the dissolved sugar would be 11 grams - 10 grams = 1 gram.

As for the mass of the water, it remains the same at 10 grams as it is the solvent in this solution. The dissolved sugar, on the other hand, is the solute.

Answer:

the answer would be 11 grams of water/sugar water

Explanation: its that because 11 grams plus 1 gram = 11 grams

even though it may seem it may just go away that mass has to go somewhere it just doesn't vanish from the earth.
