Question

5g of sugar is dissolved in "50g" of water what is the mass of the sugar water

Answer 1

Answer:   55 g

Explanation:

Given : Mass of sugar dissolved in water = 5g

i.e. Mass of solute = 5 g

Mass of water in solution = 50 g

i.e. Mass of solvent = 50 g

Then the mass of the the sugar water (Sugar solution)=$\text{Mass of solute +Mass of solvent }$

i.e. the mass of the the sugar water= $\text{5 g + 50 g = 55 g}$

hence, the mass of the sugar water = 55 g

Answer 2

55g because you would still have the weight of the sugar but it combines with the liquid and spreads out into the water.
