(i) We start by calculating the mass of sugar in the solution:

mass of sugar = concentration × solution mass

mass of sugar = 2.5/100 × 500 = 12.5 g

Then now we can calculate the amount of water:

solution mass = mass of sugar + mass of water

mass of water = solution mass - mass of sugar

mass of water = 500 - 12.5 = 487.5 g

(ii) We use the following reasoning:

If 500 g solution contains 12.5 g sugar

Then X g solution contains 75 g sugar

X=(500×75)/12.5 = 3000 g solution

Now to get the amount of solution in liters we use density (we assume that is equal to 1):

Density = mass / volume

Volume = mass / density

Volume = 3000 / 1 = 3000 liters of sugar solution

What makes balancing redox reactions different from balancing other reactions?

sergejj [24]

Redox reactions are those chemical reactions that involve the transfer of electrons between reactants, altering the oxidation state of their elements.

In this type of reactions an element releases electrons that another element accepts, so there is a net transfer of charge.

When balancing redox reactions, not only must the chemical elements in the reactants and products be equalized (by the law of conservation of the mass), but also the charged that is transferred in the process must be balanced, since the electrons that are lost in oxidation are the same as those that are gained in reduction (law of conservation of charge: there is no destruction or net creation of electric charge).

David’s mom wants to calculate how much it will cost to drive from Los Angeles, CA, to San Francisco, CA. Gas costs $4. 00 a gal

bixtya [17]

The additional information required to calculate the cost of the drive has been distance between the two cities. Thus, option B is correct.

The distance traveled by the object set the cost per unit has been given by the product of the distance and the cost.

<h3>Detail required for calculation cost</h3>

The given question has known cost of the fuel per gallon.

The mileage of the car has been known.

The distance traveled by the car has not been known. Thus, to calculate the cost of the drive, the distance between the two points has to be known. Thus, option B is correct.
