Certainly! Let's calculate the mass/volume percent of a NaCl solution where 153 grams of NaCl is dissolved in enough water to yield a total volume of 4.53 liters.
Step-by-Step Solution:
1. Identify the given values:
- Mass of NaCl (solute) = 153 grams
- Total volume of the solution = 4.53 liters
2. Understand the formula:
The mass/volume percent (m/v %) is calculated using the formula:
[tex]\[
\text{Mass/Volume Percent} = \left( \frac{\text{Mass of Solute}}{\text{Volume of Solution}} \right) \times 100
\][/tex]
3. Substitute the given values into the formula:
[tex]\[
\text{Mass/Volume Percent} = \left( \frac{153 \text{ grams}}{4.53 \text{ liters}} \right) \times 100
\][/tex]
4. Calculate the result:
[tex]\[
\left( \frac{153}{4.53} \right) \times 100 = 3377.4834437086092
\][/tex]
Therefore, the mass/volume percent of the NaCl solution is approximately 3377.48%.
