Question

If you dissolved 50 g of sugar in 30 g of water (it is possible!), what would the sugar concentration be?

Options:
a. 20 g/50 g
b. 30 g/50 g
c. 50 g/80 g
d. 50 g/30 g

Answer 1

To find the sugar concentration in the solution, divide the mass of sugar by the total mass of the solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the sugar concentration in the solution, we need to calculate the mass of sugar dissolved in the water and express it as a ratio to the total mass of the solution.

First, add the masses of sugar and water: 50 g + 30 g = 80 g.

Next, divide the mass of sugar by the total mass of the solution: 50 g / 80 g.

Therefore, the sugar concentration is 50 g/80 g, which is option c.
