Answer:

The density of salt in the solution is 4.93 g/L

Explanation:

In this question, we are concerned with calculating the density of the salt solution.

To calculate this density, we make use of a mathematical formula.

Mathematically, density = mass/volume

From the question, we can identify that the mass is 37 grams, while the volume is 7.5 litres

Thus, the density of the salt in the solution = mass of the salt in the solution/volume of the solution

Density = 37g/7.5L = 4.93 grams per litre
