Question

What is the volume of water in 150ml of the 35% w/w of sucrose solution with a specific gravity of 1.115?

Answer 1

Answer:108.71 mL

Explanation:

Given

Volume of sample V=150 mL

concentration of sucrose solution 35 % w/w i.e. In  100 gm of sample 35 gm is sucrose

specific gravity =1.115

Density of solution $\rho _s=1.115\times density\ of\ water$

Thus

$\rho _s=1.15\times 1 gm/mL=1.115\ gm/mL$

mass of sample $M=1.115\times 150=167.25\ gm$

mass of sucrose $m_s=0.35\times 167.25=58.53\ gm$

mass of Water $m_w=108.71 gm$

Volume of water $=108.71\times 1=108.781 mL$
