The final mass would be #"75 g"#.

Explanation:

The density of water is #"1 g/mL"#. So #"50 mL"# of water has a mass of #"50 g"#. Add the #"25 g"# of sugar, and you get a solution that has a mass of #"75 g"#.

Well, would not mass be conserved?

Explanation:

You got #25*g# of sugar, and #50*mL# water....of course water has the convenient density of #1*g*mL^-1#, which I am sure you know off the top of your head...and so mass ....

#-=underbrace(25*g)_"mass of sugar"+underbrace(50*mLxx1*g*mL^-1)_"mass of water"=??*g#..
