Question

if you have a 1.5 L container of tea and the label state that the container contains 1.2 g of sugar grams of sugar what's the concentrated of sugar in the tea

Answer 1

Given data

mass of solute (m) = 1.2 g ,

Volume of solution = 1.5 L ,

= 1.5 × 1000 mL

= 1500 mL ,

What is the concentration of solution = ?

concentration = (mass of solute) ÷ (100 mL of solution)

= (1.2) ÷ (1500 mL of solution)

Note: remember to divide both numerator and denominator by 15 to get concentration per 100 ml

Therefore concentration = 0.1 /100 mL ;

The concentration of sugar in a tea is 0.1/100 mL
