for a science experiment marcia dissolved 1.0 kilograms of salt in 3.0 liters of water for a different experiment Bobby dissolved 2.0 pounds of salt in 7.0 pints of water Which person made a more concentrated salt solution Explain Use1L=2.11pints

Verified Answer :

1.     Maria dissolves:

1kg of salts

3L of water


Bobby dissolves:

2lbs of salt

2pints of water


Which is more concentrated?

1l = 2.11pints

1kg = 2.2 lbs

Maria dissolves

=> 2.2 lbs of salt and 6.33pints of water

While Bobby dissolves

=> 2 lbs of salt with 7pints of water.


Therefore, the more concentrated is Maria’s experiment because she uses more
salts than water.
