HELP ME OUT! A student dissolves 1 gram of sugar in 10 grams of water. She then determines the mass of the solution. What is the mass of the dissolved sugar and water?

The mass of the dissolved sugar and water is 11 g.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a substance is dissolved in another, they are mixed together forming a new one, therefore the new substance's mass must be the same as the sum of the individual mass of each substance mixed, because there are no leaks. In this case, there are two substances being mixed, the water which have a mass of 10 grams and the sugar which have a mass of 1 gram, therefore the final solution's mass must be equal to 11 g.
