•In making certain syrup, 5700g of sucrose were dissolved in enough water to make 7 liters. Assuming specific gravity of the syrup is 1.313. How many mL of water were used?

Solution

Mass of Sucrose = 5700 gm

Specific gravity of syrup = 1.313

Mass in gms = 7 * 1000 * 1.313 = 9191 gms

Mass of Water in the container = 9191 - 5700 = 3491

Specific gravity of water in container = 1 gm/L

Hence the volume of the water in the container = 3.491 L
