Answer
$m_{sugar} = 3000 g$
Work Step by Step
Given:
Sugar–water phase diagram of Figure 9.1
Required:
amount of sugar that will dissolve in 1000 g of water at 80°C (176°F)
Solution:
From Figure 9.1, the maximum concentration of sugar in syrup is about 75 wt%. Now using Equation 4.3,
$C_{sugar}$ (wt%) = $\frac{m_{sugar}}{m_{sugar} + m_{water}} \times 100$
75 (wt%) = $\frac{m_{sugar}}{m_{sugar} + 1000 g} \times 100$
$m_{sugar} = 3000 g$
