Question:

Consider the sugar–water phase diagram of Figure 10.1.

               (a)  How much sugar will dissolve in 1000 g of water at 80°C (176°F)?

               (b)  If the saturated liquid solution in part (a) is cooled to 20°C (68°F), some of the sugar will precipitate out as a solid.  What will be the composition of the saturated liquid solution (in wt% sugar) at 20°C?

               (c)  How much of the solid sugar will come out of the solution upon cooling to 20°C?

 

Figure 10.1 is provided below.
