Answer 1

Answer:

0.55g/L

Explanation:

Given parameters;

Mass of salt  = 55g

Volume of water  = 100L

Unknown:

g/L concentration  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we must understand that concentration is the amount of solute per solution

 g/L concentration  = $\frac{55}{100}$   = 0.55g/L
