The student determined the concentration of sodium chloride in the salt solution. This box
is the method used.
1. Weigh an empty evaporating dish.
2. Add 25.0 cm3 of the salt solution into the evaporating dish.
3. Heat the evaporating dish and contents.
4. Weigh the evaporating dish and contents.
5. Repeat steps 3 to 4 until there is no further change in mass.
6. Repeat steps 1 to 5 three more times.
0 1 . 3 Why did the student heat the evaporating dish and contents until the mass did not change?
[1 mark]
0 1 . 4 How did the student calculate the mass of solid sodium chloride remaining after steps 1 to 5?
[1 mark]
Tick ( ) one box.
Mass of 25 cm3 of salt solution + mass of empty evaporating dish
Mass of 25 cm3 of salt solution − mass of empty evaporating dish
Mass of evaporating dish and dry contents + mass of empty evaporating dish
Mass of evaporating dish and dry contents − mass of empty evaporating dish
