A pycnometer is a glass flask with a tight fitting glass stopper that is used to obtain the volume of a liquid with high accuracy. A pycnometer has a mass of 25.151 grams when empty, and a mass of 42.481 grams when completely filled with water. The pycnometer has a mass of 47.629 when completely filled with an unknown liquid. What is the density in g/cm³ of the unknown liquid? Assume the density of water is 1.000 g/cm³.

A student is asked to make up a 16% sodium chloride solution. She makes the solution by weighing an empty beaker (which has a mass of 98.5g). Sodium chloride is added to the beaker. The mass of the beaker and sodium chloride is 114.71 g. Lastly, the student added 84 mL of distilled water to the beaker. Reweighing the beaker she finds that the mass of the beaker, sodium chloride, ad distilled water is 196.14 g. What is the weight percentage of sodium chloride in this solution? Show all work.
