Elena weighed out 5 newtons of salt. She dissolved the salt in 250 newtons of water. A diagram of her procedure is shown below. How did the addition of salt affect the final weight and volume of the mixture? A. The volume of the mixture increased by the same volume of salt that was added, and the weight of the mixture decreased by the same weight of salt that was added. B. The weight of the mixture increased by the exact weight of the salt added, but the volume didn't change. C. Neither the volume nor the weight of the mixture changed when the salt was added. D. The volume of the mixture increased by the same volume of salt that was added, and the weight of the mixture increased by the same weight of salt that was added.

Solution

The correct answer is D. The volume of the mixture increased by the same volume of salt that was added, and the weight of the mixture increased by the same weight of salt that was added. When salt is added to water, it dissolves but it doesn't disappear. It adds to the overall volume and weight of the mixture. The weight of the mixture increases by the exact weight of the salt added. Similarly, the volume of the mixture increases by the volume of the salt added.
