Chapter 6, Problem 128E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The volume of seawater that contains $1.0\text{ g}$ of sodium is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The volume of seawater can determine through mass percentage calculation.

This mass percent is related to density and the volume.

$\text{Mass percent of compound=}\left(\frac{\text{mass of compound}}{\text{mass of ore}}\right)\text{×100}$

$\frac{\text{mass of compound}}{\text{molar mass of compound}}\text{=}\frac{\text{mass of element}}{\text{n×molar mass of element}}$
