A \(40 \%\) by mass sucrose solution is heated till, it becomes \(50 \%\) by mass. Calculate the mass of water lost from \(100 \mathrm{~g}\) of the solution is

  1. A \(10 \mathrm{~g}\)
  2. B \(15 \mathrm{~g}\)
  3. C \(20 \mathrm{~g}\)
  4. D \(25 \mathrm{~g}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(20 \mathrm{~g}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(40 \%\) sucrose solution means it contains \(60 \%\) water. After heating, till \(50 \%\) by mass sucrose remains. Thus, \(\%\) water lost \(=\frac{0.4}{0.5} \times 100=80\) Water lost \(=100-80=20 \mathrm{~g}\) Hence, statement (c) is correct.
