If a solution is made by adding 8g of (NH4)2SO4 to a 100 ml volumteric flask and enough water is added to bring the total volume to 100ml, what would the density of the solution be?  This is a straightforward question but I just wanted some clarification. When we bring the total volume to 100ml, does that mean we added 100ml of water? Will the mass of the water be 100 g regardless of the amount of solute added?
