What is the mass (grams) of salt in 10.0 m' of ocean water? ball park-4x10's (1.000 molsalt -58.44 g salt, 1.0 L ocean water -0.60 mol salt)

Answer 1

3.5 × 10⁵ g of salt

Step-by-step explanation:

What is the mass (grams) of salt in 10.0 m³ of ocean water?

We have this data:

• 1.000 mol salt is equal to 58.44 g salt
• 1.0 L of ocean water contains 0.60 mol of salt

We will need the following relations:

• 1 L = 1dm³
• 1 m³ = 10³ dm³

We can use proportions:

`10.0m^(3) .(10^(3)dm^(3)  )/(1m^(3) ) .(1L)/(1dm^(3) ) .(0.60molSalt)/(1.0L) .(58.44gSalt)/(1molSalt) =3.5 * 10^(5) gSalt`
