Question
**Problem Description:**

A chemist prepares a solution of silver nitrate (\( \text{AgNO}_3 \)) by weighing out 262.7 g of silver nitrate into a 300. mL volumetric flask and filling the flask to the mark with water.

Calculate the concentration in g/L of the chemist's silver nitrate solution. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

**Input Interface:**

- A graphic showing a measurement icon with the unit g/L.

- An input box with options:
  - A checkbox labeled "×10"
  - Three buttons: one with an "X" (to clear), a circular arrow (to reset), and a question mark (for help). 

**Calculation:**

1. **Convert mL to L:** 
   \[
   300 \, \text{mL} = 0.300 \, \text{L}
   \]

2. **Concentration Calculation:**
   \[
   \text{Concentration} = \frac{262.7 \, \text{g}}{0.300 \, \text{L}} = 875.67 \, \text{g/L}
   \]

   - Express with correct significant figures: 876 g/L.
