A 0.85% saline solution is: a.8.5 mL of saline added to 91.5 mL of water b.85 g of NaCl made up to 1,000 mL of water c.0.85 g NaCl made up to 100 mL of water d.8.5 g NaCl in 100 mL of water

Answer:

c

Explanation:

A 0.85% saline solution would consist of 0.85 g NaCl made up to 100 mL of water.

A 0.85% saline solution contains 0.85% by weight of NaCl. Hence, in order to prepare such a solution, 0.85 g of NaCl is weighed out into a beaker or cylinder and distilled water is added up to the 100 mL mark. On the other hand, 8.5 g of the NaCl can be weighed out and then distilled water added to 1000 mL mark.

The correct option is, therefore, c.

Oil and water placed in a jar will separate. Even when shaken and mixed, the oil still separates from the water.

Which best describes oil and water?

Oil and water are highly soluble because they have separate chemical properties.
Oil and water have a low solubility because they have separate chemical properties.
Oil and water are highly soluble because they exert different pressures.
Oil and water have a low solubility because they exert different pressures.
