yrup, USP, is prepared by dissolving 850 g of sucrose in sufficient purified water to make 1000 mL of syrup. Syrup has a specific gravity of 1.31. How many milliliters of water are used to prepare two liters of syrup?

To solve this question we need to find as first the mass that must be added of water to make 1000mL of syrup using specific gravity. Thus, we can know the volume of water that mus be added:

1.31 is 1.31g/mL. In 1000mL = 1310g/1000mL. As the mass added of sucrose is 850g, the mass of water = Volume of water is:

1310g - 850g = 460g of water = 460mL to make 1L, To make 2L the amount of water that must be added is:

460mL * 2 =

920mL of water

The number of milliliters of water are used to prepare two liters of syrup is 920 mL of water.

Given that,

USP, is prepared by dissolving 850 g of sucrose in sufficient purified water to make 1000 mL of syrup.
The Syrup has a specific gravity of 1.31.

Based on the above information, the calculation is as follows:

1.31 is = 1.31g/mL.

Now

In 1000mL = [tex]1310g \div 1000mL[/tex].

Now if the mass is added so the mass of water should be equivalent to the volume of the water.

= 1310g - 850g

= 460g of water

Now

= 460mL for 1L,

To make 2L the water should be

= 460mL (2)

= 920mL of water
