Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

“Amount of water (in grams) that must be added to $15.0g$ of sucrose to make a solution with a concentration of $\text{7}.\text{5}0$ mass %.” should be calculated.

Concept introduction:

To calculate the mass of solute, use the following expression:

  $\text{Amount of solute in g = Number of moles of solutes }\times \text{ molar mass}$

Given:

Sucrose = $15.0g$ and concentration = $\text{7}.\text{5}0$ mass %.
