Question 1074293: A 20 cc solution of salt and water is 60% salt. At most how many cc of a 42% solution can be added if the final solution is to be at least 50% solution. Assume y equals the number of cc of a 42% solution to be added? Answer by ikleyn(52781) (Show Source):
What is the maximum concentration of salt in water?
Seawater has a salinity of roughly 35,000 ppm, equivalent to 35 grams of salt per one liter (or kilogram) of water.
The saturation level is dependent on the temperature of the water. At 20 °C one milliliter of water can dissolve
about 0.357 grams of salt; a concentration of 26.3%.
