Question

If you were to mix 7 grams of sugar into 100 grams of water, how much should the total mass of the solution be?

95 grams

100 grams

93 grams
107 grams

Answer 1

The total mass of the solution should be 107 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

Solutions

A solution is a homogeneous mixture consisting of a solute dissolved into a solvent. The solute is the substance that is being dissolved, while the solvent is the dissolving medium.

The relationship between the masses is:

`m_s=m_o+m_v`

Where:

ms = mass of the solution

mo = mass of the solute

mv = mass of the solvent

If you were to mix mo=7 gr of sugar into mv=100 gr of water, then the total mass of the solution should be:

`m_s=7~gr+100~gr`

`m_s=107~gr`

The total mass of the solution should be 107 grams
