Given parameters:
Mass of sucrose = 5g
Density of sucrose = 1.12g/mL
Percentage of sucrose per liter of cane juice = 12%
Unknown:
Volume of cane juice required =?
We need to understand the relationship between volume and density. Density represents mass per unit volume.
Mathematically;
Density =
Now, calculate the volume of sucrose;
1.12g/mL =
Volume =
= 4.46mL = 4.46 x 10⁻³L since 1000mL = 1L
Since 12% of one liter of cane juice is sucrose,
12% of x liter of cane juice = 4.46 x 10⁻³L
Volume of cane juice = 4.46 x 10⁻³ x
= 0.037L
Volume of cane juice needed is 0.037L
The answer is true. A solid solution consists of a solid state solution formed by one or more solutes dissolved in a solvent, or a combination of two crystalline solids that coexist within a crystal lattice. Metal alloys, semiconductors, and moist solids are examples of such solid solutions.
