Question
Measurements have shown that the concentration of salt in seawater is 35.5·gL−1. Calculate the volume in liters of seawater that must be evaporated to recover 0.0500kg of salt.Round your answer to 3 significant digits.
Solution
Sure, here's how you can calculate it:
-
First, convert the concentration of salt in seawater from g/L to kg/L. Since 1 kg = 1000 g, the concentration is 35.5 g/L = 0.0355 kg/L.
-
Next, use the formula for concentration which is mass/volume. Rearrange the formula to solve for volume: volume = mass/concentration.
-
Plug in the given values: volume = 0.0500 kg / 0.0355 kg/L = 1.408 L.
So, you would need to evaporate approximately 1.41 liters of seawater to recover 0.0500 kg of salt.

A tank contains 3,000 L of brine with 15 kg of dissolved salt. Pure water enters the tank at a rate of 5 L/min. The solution is kept thoroughly mixed and drains from the tank at the same rate. How much salt is in the tank after 60 minutes?
A geochemist measures the concentration of salt dissolved in Lake Parsons and finds a concentration of 56.77·gL−1. The geochemist also measures the concentration of salt in several nearby non-isolated lakes, and finds an average concentration of 4.60·gL−1.Assuming the salt concentration in Lake Parsons before it became isolated was equal to the average salt concentration in nearby non-isolated lakes, calculate the percentage of Lake Parsons which has evaporated since it became isolated.Round each of your answers to 3 significant digits.
