a stock sugar solution is made with 15.7 pounds of sugar into 99 gallons of water. what is its concentration in g/l? (1 pound = 454 grams, 1 gallon = 3.78 liters)

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Convert pounds of sugar to grams

$15.7\times454 = 7127.8$ grams

Step2: Convert gallons of water to liters

$99\times3.78 = 374.22$ liters

Step3: Calculate concentration

Concentration = $\frac{\text{mass of solute}}{\text{volume of solution}}=\frac{7127.8}{374.22}\approx19.05$ g/L

Answer:

$19.05$ g/L
