Answer to Question #72768 in General Chemistry for Cheyenne

Question

If 8 oz of soda has 35 g of sugar, what is the mass of sugar in a 2 L bottle of soda?

Answer 1

First, we need to convert how much liters of soda in 8 ounces:
1 oz=0.0296 L
8 oz=0.237 L
The mass of sugar m_1 in 0.237 L is equal to 35 g, than we can calculate the mass of sugar m_2 in 2 L of soda:
m_2=(m_1∙V_2)/V_1 =(35 g ∙2 L)/(0.237 L)=295 g
Answer: a 2 L bottle of soda contains 295 g of sugar.
