A cup of coffee was left out undisturbed. At that time the coffee was 2% by volume in sugar. After one month, cup was half full by volume. What was the volume % in sugar now? Assume no density change.
Added by Christina F.
Step 1
Assume the initial volume of the coffee is \( V \) liters. Since the coffee is 2% sugar by volume, the volume of sugar in the coffee is \( 0.02V \) liters. Show more…

Sugar dissolves in water at a rate proportional to the amount still undissolved. If there were $50 \mathrm{kg}$ of sugar present initially, and at the end of $5 \mathrm{h}$ only $20 \mathrm{kg}$ are left, how much longer will it take until $90 \%$ of the sugar is dissolved?
