Question

7.5 liters of a certain solution contain 37 grams of salt. What is the density of salt in the solution? Round your answer, if necessary, to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Answer:4.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

The density of salt solution is $4.94\times 10^{-3}\ g/cm^3$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Volume of certain solution, V = 7.5 litres

Mass of salt in solution, m = 37 grams

We know that, $1\ L=1000\ cm^3$

We need to find the density of salt in the solution. The density of salt is given by mass per unit volume. The formula can be written as:

$d=\dfrac{m}{V}\\\\d=\dfrac{37\ g}{7.5\times 10^3\ cm^3}\\\\d=4.94\times 10^{-3}\ g/cm^3$

So, the density of salt solution is $4.94\times 10^{-3}\ g/cm^3$.
