Answer:
The mass of water boiled off is [tex]0.0 \overline{185}[/tex] kg
Explanation:
The given percentage by weight of protein solids in raspberries = 10 weight%
The ratio of sugar to raspberries in ja-m = 45:55
The mass of the mixture after boiling = 0.4 weight fraction water
Let 's' represent the mass of sugar in the mixture, and let 'r' represent the mass of raspberry
The mass of raspberry, r = 1 kg
The percentage by weight of water in raspberry = 90 weight %
The mass of water in 1 kg of raspberry = 90/100 × 1 kg = 0.9 kg
The ratio of the mass of sugar to the mass of raspberry in jam = r/s = 45/55
∴ s = 1 kg × 55/45 = 11/9 kg
The mass of the mixture before boiling = 1 kg + 11/9 kg = 20/9 kg
The weight fraction of water in the remaining mixture after boiling = 0.4 weight fraction
Let 'w' represent the mass of water boiled off, we have;
(0.9 - w)/(20/9 - w) = 0.4
(0.9 - w) = 0.4 × (20/9 - w)
0.9 - w = 8/9 - 0.4·w
9/10 - 8/9 = w - 0.4·w = 0.6·w = (6/10)·w
(81 - 80)/(90) = (6/10)·w
1/90 = (6/10)·w
w = ((10/6) × 1/90) = 1/54
w = 1/54
The mass of water boiled off, w = (1/54) kg = [tex]0.0 \overline{185}[/tex] kg
