50 percent dextrose solution and you need a 1 percent dextrose soultion. How do you figure that out?
If the percents given are by weight or mass, this is very straightforward: The ratio between the desired percentage and the initial percentage is 1/50. Therefore, a given mass of initial solution must be diluted to 50 times its original mass to obtain the desired lower concentration, or in other words, 49 parts of diluent must be mixed with each part of initial solution. If the percents involve volume measurements, it would be necessary to take into account and change in density occasioned by the dilution.
What does a 5 percent sugar solution mean?
Unfortunately sugar is an imprecise term. It is better to specify glucose (usually means dextrose) or sucrose or fructose etc. A 5 percent solution of one of these sugars would contain 5 grams weight dissolved in 100mL of water (or could be another solvent).
