Calculate the mass of water and sugar that will be required to prepare 250 g of 3% sugar syrup.

To determine the mass of sugar, we will use the formula for percentage concentration.

W (in-va) = m (in-va) / m (solution) • 100%.

The amount of sugar needed to make the syrup.

m (sugar) = W (sugar) • m (solution) / 100% = 3% • 250 g / 100% = 7.5 g.

Mass of water.

m (H2O) = m (solution) – m (in-va) = 250 g – 7.5 g = 242.5 g.

To prepare a given syrup, 7.5 g of sugar and 242.5 g of water are needed.
