For the preparation of pickled apples, a solution is used, the mass fraction of sugar in which is 3.84%. How much sugar is required to prepare 2 kg of such a solution?

Let us find the mass of the substance necessary to prepare a solution with a given concentration according to the formula:

m (sugar) = W (sugar) • m (solution) / 100% = 3.84% • 2000 g / 100% = 76.8 g.

The mass of water required to prepare a sugar solution:

m (water) = m (solution) – m (sugar) = 2000 g – 76.8 g = 1923.2 g or 1.9232 kg.
