Ocean water is about 0.600M NaCl and has a density of 1.027g/mL. Find the percentage of NaCl (w/w) and percentage NaCl (w/v).

Respuesta :

Answer:

w/w = 3.42 w/v = 3.51

Explanation:

given molarity of NaCl = 0.6 M

therefore there are 0.6 moles of NaCl in 1000 ml of water.

[tex]density=\frac{mass}{volume}[/tex]

therefore mass of water = 1.027×1000= 1027 g.

w/w ratio = [tex]\frac{mass of solute}{mass of solvent}\times 100[/tex]

                = [tex]\frac{0.6\times 58.5}{1027}\times 100[/tex]

                 = 3.42

w/v ratio = [tex]\frac{mass of solute}{volume of solvent}100[/tex]

               =[tex]\frac{0.6\times 58.5}{1000}\times 100[/tex]

                =3.51
