Five standard solutions of a newly discovered inorganic salt were used to create a calibration curve. The density (g/mL) of each solution was plotted on the y-axis versus the %(w/v) concentration on the x-axis. The calibration curve was linear and fitted with the following best-fit line. y = 1.17x + 0.188 A student is asked to analyze a solution of this salt with a density of 4.00 g/mL. What is the concentration, in %(w/v), of the unknown salt solution? concentration: % (w/v)

Five standard solutions of a newly discovered inorganic salt were used to create a calibration curve. The density (g/mL) of each
solution was plotted on the y-axis versus the % (w/v) concentration on the x-axis. The calibration curve was linear and fitted with
the following best-fit line.
y = 1.17x + 0.188
A student is asked to analyze a solution of this salt with a density of 4.00 g/mL. What is the concentration, in %(w/v), of the
unknown salt solution?
concentration:
% (w/v)
