(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
The substance is followed by H2O
Density is defined as the ratio of mass to the volume.
Density = 
(1)
Mass of water = 10 grams
Mass of acetone = 10 grams
Density of water = 1 
Density of acetone = 0.7857
Put the value of density of water and its mass in equation (1)
1 = 
Volume of water = 10 
Put the value of density of acetone and its mass in equation (1)
0.7857 =
Volume of acetone = 12.72
Thus, volume of acetone is more than volume of water because the density of acetone is lower.
