Error on page 150?

Postby wonderin_y » Wed Oct 08, 2008 8:13 pm

I was working on the experiment on page 150, part II, step 10.
Can someone clarify the amount of sugar should be 410.76g?
If I were to place 200ml of water in a 250ml beaker and try to place an additional 410.76g of sugar ... well, it's just not going to happen.
Thanks.

Thanks for the catch. The hazards of cut and paste, I guess. I actually used a 600 mL beaker in that session, and IIRC the 200 mL of water plus sugar ended up making perhaps 400 or 450 mL of solution.

I've added this to the errata page.
