5) A student correctly determines that 17.1 grams of sucrose are needed to make 50 ml of a 1M solution of sucrose. When making this solution in the lab, the student measured 50.0 ml of water in a measuring cylinder and added that to a beaker. Then the student massed 17.1 grams of sucrose and added it to that beaker. She then mixed the solution well and poured the resulting solution into a graduated cylinder. To her utter shock, the volume of the solution was now 62.0 mL. Explain what happened. Describe the steps the student should have taken to prepare a 50.0 mL solution of 1M sucrose.
