Explanation:
The total mass is:
100 g + 200 g
= 300 g
The mass of salt is:
0.20 (100 g) + 0.10 (200 g)
= 20 g + 20 g
= 40 g
So the concentration is:
40 g / 300 g
≈ 13.33%
Round as needed.
The answer to this item is determined by using the proper conversion factors and the dimensional analysis. For the given units, meter and centimeters, the conversion from millimeters are as shown below,
1 m = 1000 mm
1 cm = 10 mm
Conversion of 5.3 mm³ to m³.
= (5.3 mm³)(1 m/1000 mm)³ = 5.3 x 10⁻⁹ m³
Conversion of 5.3 mm³ to cm³.
= (5.3 mm³)(1 cm/10 mm)³ = 5.3 x 10⁻³ cm³
The answer to this item is therefore letter B. 5.3 x 10⁻⁹ m³.
