Question

As a laboratory assistant, you measure chemicals using the metric system. For your current research, you need to measure out 45 grams of sodium chloride. The bottle you are using lists the amount in ounces. About how many ounces of sodium chloride will you need?

​

Answer 1

About 1.5873 ounces of sodium chloride is needed.

Explanation:

Here, the amount of sodium chloride needed = 45 grams

Now, by the conversion of units, we know

1 gram = 0.0352739619 ounce

⇒ 45 grams = 45 x 0.0352739619 ounce = 1.5873 ounces

Hence, about 1.5873 ounces of sodium chloride is needed.
