Question

As a pharmacy technician, you're helping to make a syrup. which of the following choices represents your ingredients?

a. saturated aqueous solutions of sugar
b. solutions of water and alcohol
c. oil and sugar solutions
d. alcohol and sugar solutions

Answer 1

I think the correct answer would be saturated aqueous solutions of sugar. Syrup often refers to solutions that contain sugar as solute. In pharmaceutics, syrup is referred to almost saturated solutions of sucrose in water as solvent. They are used as flavoring for medicines.
