Question

Enough water was added to ten grams of sugar

to form two liters of solution. How many grams
of sugar are needed to make five liters of a
solution with the same concentration?

Answer 1

25 grams (25g) of sugar

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set this up algebraically:

10g = 2L

÷ 2 ÷ 2

5g = L

meaning that 5 g are needed to make 1 L

So, if we have 5 L, we will need (5 × 5) 25 grams to produce the same concentration.
