A chemistry student must write down in her lab notebook the concentration of a solution of potassium chloride. The
concentration of a solution equals the mass of what's dissolved divided by the total volume of the solution.
Here's how the student prepared the solution:
The label on the graduated cylinder says:
empty weight: 1.500 g
She put some solid potassium chloride into the graduated cylinder and weighed it. With the potassium chloride added,
the cylinder weighed 40.22 g.
She added water to the graduated cylinder and dissolved the potassium chloride completely. Then she read the total
volume of the solution from the markings on the graduated cylinder. The total volume of the solution was 172.08 mL.
What concentration should the student write down in her lab notebook? Be sure your answer has the correct number of
significant digits.
