Ten grams of sugar are added to a 40-g serving of a breakfast cereal that is 30% sugar. what is the percent concentration of sugar in the resulting mixture?

Respuesta :

Mass of the serving = 40 g

Mass % of sugar in the 40 g serving = 30 %

Mass of sugar in the 40 g serving = [tex] 40 g serving * \frac{30 g sugar}{100 g serving} = 12 g sugar [/tex]

10 g of sugar is added.

So the total mass of sugar added = 10 g + 12 g = 22 g

Total mass of the solution = 10 g solute (sugar) + 40 g (serving) = 50 g

Mass % of the resulting mixture = [tex] \frac{22 g}{50 g} * 100 = 44 % [/tex]

Mass % of sugar in the
