Question 15
Easy

A student investigated the mass of dissolved solids in a brand of mineral water.

The student used the following method:

  1. Measure 100 cm3 of the mineral water sample.
  2. Heat the sample in an evaporating basin until all the water has evaporated.
  3. Measure the mass of the solid residue that remains.
  4. Repeat the experiment three more times.

b.

A 250 cm3 sample of mineral water from a different source was found to contain 0.85 g of dissolved solids. Calculate the mass of dissolved solids in 1000 cm3 of this mineral water.
