A solution is prepared by dissolving table salt, sodium chloride, in water at room temperature.
a. Assuming there is no significant change in the volume of water during the preparation of the solution, how would the density of the solution compare to that of pure water?
b. If you were to boil the solution for several minutes and then allow it to cool to room temperature, how would the density of the solution compare to the density in part a?
c. If you took the solution prepared in part a and added more water, how would this affect the density of the solution?
