Hard candy is made from very hot solutions of sugar and water with small amounts of added flavorings. In a typical preparation, the boiling point of the mixture is 140.1oC. What mass ratio of sugar (C12H22O11) to water is required to raise the boiling point of the sugar/water solution to 140.1oC? The ratio of the mass of sugar over the mass of water is unitless when both masses are expressed in the same units.
