Answer:

Two things can happen to old satellites: For the closer satellites, engineers will use its last bit of fuel to slow it down so it will fall out of orbit and burn up in the atmosphere. Further satellites are instead sent even farther away from Earth.

Ali mixes 20g of Sodium Chloride in 100g of water at 15 Degree °C. Calculate the mass of the solution

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

The mass of the solution is 120 g.

Explanation:

The mass of the solution is given by:

$m_{sol} = m_{1} + m_{2}$

Where:

$m_{sol}$ : is the mass of the solution

$m_{1}$ : is the mass of the solvent

$m_{2}$ : is the mass of the solute

In the solution, the solvent is the majority compound (in mass) and the solute is the minority (in mass), so the solvent is the water and the solute is sodium chloride.

Hence, the mass of the solution is:

$m_{sol} = m_{1} + m_{2} = 100 g + 20 g = 120 g$
