A formula unit is the same as the empirical formula of a compound or an ionic molecule. It is the lowest ratio of the atoms in the compound or ion. Zinc acetate ions dissociates into zinc ions and acetate ions. The dissociation reaction is expressed as follows:
Zn(O2CCH3)2 = Zn2+ + 2(O2CCH3)1-
We determine the amount of acetate ions produced as follows:
Moles Zn(O2CCH3)2 = (3 formula units Zn(O2CCH3)2) ( 1 mol / 6.022x10^23 formula units) = 4.98x10^-24 mol Zn(O2CCH3)2
moles (O2CCH3)1- = 4.98x10^-24 mol Zn(O2CCH3)2 ( 2 mol (O2CCH3)1- / 1 mol Zn(O2CCH3)2 ) = 9.96x10^-24 mol (O2CCH3)1-
# of acetate ions = 9.96x10^-24 mol (O2CCH3)1- ( 6.022x10^23 ions / 1 mol (O2CCH3)1-) = 6 acetate ions
Measuring density is very important for many different industries because the density measurement will help determine the characteristics of a material, for example, whether the material will float or sink. Knowing the density of a material helps in determining the mass and volume of a material, all of which are extremely important measurements in all industries.

Answer:
301.8 g
Explanation:
We prepare a solution with 200.4 g of water (solvent) and 101.42 g of salt (solute). The mass of the solution is equal to the sum of the mass of the solvent and the mass of the solute.
m(solution) = m(solute) + m(solvent)
m(solution) = 200.4 g + 101.42 g
m(solution) = 301.8 g (we round-off to one decimal according to the significant figures rules)
