A packaging engineer is working on a new design for cold packs. A burst chamber in the pack will contain 14.0 mL of water, which will be released and used to dissolve ammonium nitrate.

(a) If the solubility of NH4NO3 is 190 g/100 g H2O, what mass of this compound should be used with this amount of water? 

(b) The design specifications indicate that these chemicals can account for no more than 35% of the mass of the product. What would the product weigh if it just meets these design specs?
