Question

Calculate the grams of sugar present in a 355mL can of soda if the water in the can weighs 355g and the density of the soda is 1.10g/mL.

Answer 1

First thing’s first, we need to find the mass of the whole can, and then utilizing the density, ρ, and the volume given which is 335 mL. After doing so, you need to subtract the mass of the water from the mass of the whole can. Here’s the simplified equation in answering the problem.

mass of sugar = (355 mL*1.10 g/mL)-335g

mass of sugar = 55.5g
