ileana added 10 g of sugar to 50 mL of tea. what is the concentration of sugar in her tea?
10g/50mL = 0.2 g/mL
10g/50mL = 0.2 g/mL
To find the concentration of sugar in Ileana's tea, we need to divide the amount of sugar added by the volume of the tea.
The concentration of a solute is typically expressed in terms of a ratio between the amount (mass or moles) of the solute and the volume of the solution. In this case, since the amount of sugar is given in grams and the volume of tea is given in milliliters, we will express the concentration in grams per milliliter (g/mL).
Given that Ileana added 10 grams of sugar to 50 milliliters of tea, we can calculate the concentration as follows:
Concentration of sugar = Amount of sugar / Volume of tea
Concentration of sugar = 10 g / 50 mL
However, it would be better to convert the volume from milliliters to liters to achieve consistency in units:
Concentration of sugar = 10 g / 0.05 L (since 1 L = 1000 mL, or 0.05 L = 50 mL)
Simplifying the expression:
Concentration of sugar = 200 g/L
So, the concentration of sugar in Ileana's tea is 200 grams per liter (g/L).
