Q1: A sugar solution containing __________ percent sugar is equivalent to 1 Brix.

ANS:C - 1

The Brix scale is a measure of the sugar concentration in a solution, commonly used in the food and beverage industry, particularly in the context of measuring the sweetness of liquids like fruit juices, soft drinks, and wine. One degree Brix (symbol °Bx) represents 1 gram of sucrose (table sugar) dissolved in 100 grams of solution. Therefore, when a solution is described as "1 Brix," it means that 1% of the solution, by mass, is composed of sucrose. For example, if you have 100 grams of a solution that is 1 Brix, it contains 1 gram of sucrose. Similarly, if you have 1000 grams (1 kilogram) of the same solution, it contains 10 grams of sucrose (since 1% of 1000 grams is 10 grams). So, a sugar solution containing 1 percent sugar is equivalent to 1 Brix.
