If I dissolve 35 g of NaCl in 100 ml, what will be the approximate specific gravity?.
Is it 1.35? or is there some trick?
I read that saturated NaCl soltion has specific gravity of 1.2.
Also I read 35.9 g of NaCl can dissolve in 100 ml of water (which will approximately give 135.9 g/100 ml solution.
it means 1359 g/L, which means 1.359 specific gravity.
I am bit confused. (did I do a mistake?).
please help me.
I. It is not clear from the enunciate if you are referring to volume of solvent (as it is often the case with solubility data) or to volume of solution (as it is typically the case for concentration given in volumetric basis). Note that concentrations are typically given in a solute to solution basis; not in a solute to solvent basis. A rare exception is molality (mol solute / kg solvent).
II. I suggest that you check my posts elsewhere at this forum: https://www.researchgate.net/post/What_is_the_maximum_concentration_of_sodium_chloride_in_water https://www.researchgate.net/post/How_can_I_dissolve_6_molar_sodium_chloride
