Chapter 13, Problem 57E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The volume of the water in milliliters is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The mass percent is the number of grams of solute per $100\text{ g}$ of solution.

The volume of solution is calculated by converting the gram solute to gram solution by the use of mass percent as the conversion factor.

In the next step, density is used as the conversion factor to calculate the volume in milliliters.

$\text{Density =}\frac{\text{mass}}{\text{volume}}$. So, volume can be calculated as $\text{Volume =}\frac{\text{mass}}{\text{density}}$.
