Answer: Mass of the seawater in cg is 253300
Explanation:
To calculate the mass percent of element in a given compound, we use the formula:
[tex]\text{Mass percent of sodium chloride}=\frac{\text{Mass of sodium chloride}}{\text{mass of sea water}}\times 100[/tex]
given : Mass percent of sodium chloride= 0.5922
Mass of sodium chloride = 15.00 g
mass of sea water = ?
[tex]0.5922=\frac{15.00}{\text{mass of sea water}}\times 100[/tex]
[tex]{\text{mass of sea water}=2533g=253300cg[/tex] [tex]1g=100cg[/tex]
Thus the mass of the seawater in cg is 253300
