Answer:

\large \boxed{0.64 \, \%}

Explanation:

Assume you are using 1 L of water.

Then you are washing 4 L of salty oil.

1. Calculate the mass of the salty oil

Assume the oil has a density of 0.86 g/mL.

\text{Mass of oil} = \text{4000 mL} \times \dfrac{\text{0.86 g}}{\text{1 mL}} = \text{3440 g}

2. Calculate the mass of salt in the salty oil

\text{Mass of salt} = \text{3440 g} \times \dfrac{\text{5 g salt}}{\text{100 g oil}} = \text{172 g salt}

3. Calculate the mass of salt in the spent water

\text{Mass of salt} = \text{1000 g water} \times \dfrac{\text{15 g salt}}{\text{100 g water}} = \text{150 g salt}

4. Mass of salt remaining in washed oil

Mass = 172 g - 150 g = 22 g  

5. Concentration of salt in washed oil

\text{Concentration} = \dfrac{\text{22 g}}{\text{3440 g}} \times 100 \, \% = \mathbf{0.64 \, \%}\\\\\text{The concentration of salt in the washed oil is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{0.64 \, \%}}$}

All of them are soluble salt.

First one dissociates into two ions.

The second one dissociates into 3 ions.

The third dissociate into 4 ions. therefore, Al(NO3)3
