Represent the answer in scientific notation. A. 3. 6 × 105 grams B. 1. 1 × 101 grams C. 36 × 105 grams D. 11 × 101 grams.

Answer 1

The mass of sodium chloride required for 1. 8 × 10^3 people is 3. 6 × 10^5 grams. Option A is the correct answer.

How do you calculate the mass of sodium chloride required?

Given that weigh of the person is 50 KG. The mass of the sodium chloride in one person is given below.

$1 \;\rm Person = 2\times 10^2\;\rm g$

The mass of sodium chloride is calculated as given below.

$1.8\times 10^3 \;\rm Person = 2\times 10^2 \times 1.8\times 10^3$

$1.8\times 10^3 \;\rm Person = 3.6\times 10^5\;\rm g$

Hence we can conclude that the mass of sodium chloride required for 1. 8 × 10^3 people is 3. 6 × 10^5 grams. Option A is the correct answer.
