your experiment yielded 50kg of NaCl (D= 4.5g/ml. What volume of your yield is this in liters?
volume= mass/density.
watch units.

50kg/(4.5g/ml) in liters
Something to consider in handling of units:
1.00 g/mL = 1 g / 1 mL
1 g / 1 mL = 1000g / 1000mL = 1 kg / L
The above steps show that a density of 4.5 g/mL is equivalent to 4.5 kg/L.
Using a density of 4.5 kg/L should make it possible to get the volume in directly in liters without the need to change units at the end.
To determine the volume of the NaCl yield in liters, we need to use the density of NaCl.
The density is given as 4.5 g/ml, which means that for every milliliter (ml) of NaCl, there is a mass of 4.5 grams.
First, we need to convert the mass of 50 kg to grams. Since 1 kg equals 1000 grams, 50 kg is equal to 50,000 grams.
Next, we can use the formula:
Volume (in ml) = Mass (in grams) / Density (in g/ml)
Substituting the values:
Volume (in ml) = 50,000 g / 4.5 g/ml
We can now calculate the volume:
Volume (in ml) = 11,111.11 ml
Finally, to convert the volume from milliliters to liters, we divide by 1000:
Volume (in liters) = 11,111.11 ml / 1000
Volume (in liters) = 11.11111 liters
Therefore, the volume of the NaCl yield is approximately 11.11111 liters.
