To find the concentration of salt in each solution, we calculate the concentration of NaCl in grams per milliliter (g/mL) using the formula:
\[ \text{Concentration} = \frac{\text{Mass of NaCl}}{\text{Volume of water}} \]
Now, let's calculate the concentrations for each solution:
-
Solution A: \[ \text{Concentration} = \frac{5.0 , \text{g}}{50.0 , \text{mL}} = 0.1 , \text{g/mL} \]
-
Solution B: \[ \text{Concentration} = \frac{5.0 , \text{g}}{75.0 , \text{mL}} \approx 0.0667 , \text{g/mL} \]
-
Solution C: \[ \text{Concentration} = \frac{5.0 , \text{g}}{100.0 , \text{mL}} = 0.05 , \text{g/mL} \]
-
Solution D: \[ \text{Concentration} = \frac{5.0 , \text{g}}{125.0 , \text{mL}} = 0.04 , \text{g/mL} \]
Now, we compare the concentrations:
- Solution A: 0.1 g/mL
- Solution B: 0.0667 g/mL
- Solution C: 0.05 g/mL
- Solution D: 0.04 g/mL
The solution with the highest concentration of salt is Solution A.
