Question

An aqueous solution of NaCl has a total mass of 25.06 grams and volume 25.1 ml. What is the mass of salt ( NaCl ) and water?

Answer 1

This seems like a pretty straight forward question, however shouldn't the mass be larger than the volume for it to make sense?

Answer 5

since the density of water is around 1 g/mL, then the mass>volume.

even at 60 degrees celsius the density is still 0.98870 g/mL, so even if the mass was at par with the volume, the amount of salt would be 0.02 g per mL..

Since the temp is not even noted in the question, idk how you could assume this.
