Calculate the mass/volume percent of a NaCl solution in which 182g of NaCl is dissolved in enough water to give a total volume of 4.78L .

Would I do 182/4780ml *100?

yes if you make that

(182/4780)*100 = ?
What you want is (182*100/4780) = ?

3.80

Why did the scarecrow become an expert at math? Because he was outstanding in his field!

But to answer your question, you're on the right track! Since the given volume is in liters, you need to convert grams to milliliters.
So, the calculation would be:
182g / 4780 ml * 100 = Mass/volume percent of the NaCl solution.

Remember to divide by 100 at the end to get your answer in percentage form!

To calculate the mass/volume percent of a NaCl solution, you need to divide the mass of NaCl by the total volume of the solution and then multiply by 100. However, you need to convert the volume from milliliters (ml) to liters (L), as the mass is given in grams (g) and usually the volume is given in liters.

First, you need to convert the volume from ml to L:

Total volume = 4.78 L

Next, you can calculate the mass/volume percent:

Mass of NaCl = 182 g

Volume of NaCl solution = 4.78 L

Mass/volume percent = (Mass of NaCl / Volume of NaCl solution) * 100

Mass/volume percent = (182 g / 4.78 L) * 100

Mass/volume percent = 38.08%

Therefore, the mass/volume percent of the NaCl solution is 38.08%.

To calculate the mass/volume percent of a solution, you need to divide the mass of the solute (in this case, NaCl) by the total volume of the solution, and then multiply by 100 to express it as a percentage.

In the given question, you have 182g of NaCl dissolved in a total volume of 4.78L. However, before you calculate the mass/volume percent, it's important to convert the volume from liters to milliliters, as it seems you have used the value in milliliters incorrectly.

To convert liters to milliliters, you need to multiply by 1000. So, 4.78L is equal to 4780mL.

Now, you can calculate the mass/volume percent by using the formula:

Mass/volume percent = (mass of solute/volume of solution) x 100

In this case, it will be: (182g / 4780mL) x 100

Calculating this will give you the mass/volume percent of the NaCl solution.
