Acertain electrolyte solution contains 1 gram of salt for every 8 grams of sugar and every 200 grams of water. if the sugar to water ratio is halved, the salt to sugar ratio is tripled, and the resulting solution contains 5 grams of salt, how many grams of water does the resulting solution contain? a. 250b. 400c. 666 2/3d. 1,000e. 2,000

The resulting solution contains approximately 666 g of water.

Explanation:

In the initial solution we have:

1g salt : 8g sugar : 200g water

This means that the ratios are:

In the final solution we have:

5g salt: xg sugar: yg water

The new ratios are:

Now we can calculate the amount of sugar in the final solution:

Finally, we calculate the amount of water:

explanation: it gains negative electrons, therefore becoming negatively charged. as charge cannot be created, nor destroyed, only transferred, this leaves the wool positive. now that they have opposite charges, the two items attract.
