Calculate the masses of water and sugar required to prepare a syrup weighing 500 g, a mass fraction of 40%.

1. Let’s find the mass of sugar in solution, using the formula:
m (sugar) = m (solution) * w (solution) / 100% = 500 * 40/100 = 200 g
2. Calculate the mass of water in the prepared syrup by the formula:
m (water) = m (solution) – m (sugar) = 500 – 200 = 300 g
Answer: to prepare the syrup, you need 300 g of water and 200 g of sugar.
