A student needed to make a 3 g/L NaCl solution. The student weighed 3 g of NaCl in a beaker and measured 1 L of water in a 1L vo

lumetric flask that was labeled TC. The student then added the water to the beaker containing the NaCl. What errors did this student make? Describe how this can be performed properly.

Answer:

The answer is in the explanation.

Explanation:

A solution is defined as the <em>homogeneous mixture </em>of a solute (In this case, NaCl) and the solvent (water).

To prepare 1L of the solution, the student can weigh the 3g of NaCl in the volumetric flask but need to add slowly water to dissolve the NaCl (That is very soluble in water). When all NaCl is dissolved the student must transfer the solution to the 1L volumetric flask. Then, you must add more water to the beaker until "Clean" all the solute of the beaker to transfer it completely to the volumetric flask.
