Answer : 2.34 kg or 2340 g can be dissolved in the given amount of water

The solubility of the substance is given as 3.6 g/1.0 L. That means 3.6 grams of the substance can be dissolved in 1 L of water.

We have 650 L of water. The equation can be set up as follows.

$650 L \times \frac{3.6g}{1.0 L}= 2340 g$

We can cancel out L here

Therefore we can say that 2340 grams or 2.34 kg of the substance can be dissolved in the given amount of water
