A student obtained a density versus percent by mass sodium chloride standard curve for the Salt in the Chesapeake Bay experiment with the best-fit line below. y = 0.00671x + 0.974 This week the student calibrates a graduated cylinder and determines that it contains 10.365 mL at the 10.00 mL mark. If the empty graduated cylinder weighs 13.371 g and the cylinder filled to the 10.00 mL mark with a saltwater sample weighs 26.824 g, what is the percent by mass (%) of the saltwater sample? Report your answer with one places after the decimal.

Question

A student obtained a density versus percent by mass sodium chloride standard curve for the Salt in the Chesapeake Bay experiment with the best-fit line below.

y = 0.00671x + 0.974

This week the student calibrates a graduated cylinder and determines that it contains 10.365 mL at the 10.00 mL mark. If the empty graduated cylinder weighs 13.371 g and the cylinder filled to the 10.00 mL mark with a saltwater sample weighs 26.824 g, what is the percent by mass (%) of the saltwater sample? Report your answer with one places after the decimal.
