Answer 2

Answer: 600 g of the water was used to make the salt solution.

Explanation:

In a salt solution ,salt is present as a solute and water as a solvent.

Mass of salt present in the solution = 8 g

Mass of the salt solution = 608 g

Solution = Solvent + Solute

608 g = solvent + 8 g

Mass of water = 608 g - 8 g= 600 g

600 g of the water was used to make the salt solution.
