Answer to Question #72580 in General Chemistry for Fahim

Question

A student prepared 4.0L of a solution by dissolving sodium chloride in water so that the concentration is 5.2% by mass. If the density of the solution is 1.04 g/mL, what is the total mass of the solution in grams?

Answer 1

Vs(NaCl) = 4L
w(NaCl) = 5,2%
ρs(NaCl) = 1,04g/ml
ms(NaCl) = Vs(NaCl)* ρs(NaCl) = 4000ml*1,04g/ml = 4160g
