5 % sucrose solution means that 5 % of the weight of the solution is sucrose.
If 1 liter of water weighs 1000 grams. To prepare 5% sucrose solution 5/100 x 1000 = 50 grams. Since 1 liter equals 1000ml, thus a 5 % solution has 50 grams of solute dissolved in one liter.
To prepare 5% sucrose solution in 50mls
=5/100 x 50
= 0.05 x 50
= 2.5g
Therefore to prepare 5% sucrose solution in 50mls we dissolve 2.5g of sucrose in 50ml of water
The sample will lose half of its mass after 4 hours. The half life. 82=4 The sample will lose half of the remaining four after another half life. 42=2 Hope this helps! :)
