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:
