To convert a 10% sugar solution into a 5% sugar solution, you would need to dilute the original solution by adding a calculated amount of water. For example, to create 1 liter of 5% sugar solution from a 10% solution, you would mix 500ml of the 10% solution with 500ml of water.
When pollen grains are placed in a 10 percent sugar solution, they will absorb water from the solution through osmosis. This can cause the pollen grains to swell and become turgid. The sugar solution provides a hypertonic environment, leading to an influx of water into the pollen grains.
To prepare a 1% solution of table sugar, you would dissolve 1 gram of table sugar in 100 mL (or 100 grams) of water. This would give you a solution where 1% of the total weight is sugar.
To make a 10 percent solution, you would need to dilute the 50 percent solution by adding 4 ml of solvent to 1 ml of the 50 percent solution. This will result in a total volume of 5 ml with a 10 percent concentration.
To calculate the mass of medication in the solution, multiply the volume of the solution (500 ml) by the concentration of the medication (10%). Convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100 (10% = 0.10). So, 500 ml x 0.10 = 50 grams of medication in 500 ml of a 10% solution.
Let x represent the amount of 12% solution and (10-x) represent the amount of 20% solution. The equation to solve is: 0.12x + 0.20(10-x) = 0.14(10). Solving for x gives x = 4, so you need 4 gallons of the 12% solution and 6 gallons of the 20% solution to make 10 gallons of the 14% solution.
