  • Calculating NaCl Concentration: Grams in a 10% Solution
    Here's how to solve this problem:

    1. Convert milligrams to grams:

    * 200 mg = 0.2 g (since 1 gram = 1000 milligrams)

    2. Calculate the amount of NaCl:

    * A 10% salt solution means that 10 grams of NaCl are present in every 100 grams of solution.

    * Set up a proportion:

    10 g NaCl / 100 g solution = x g NaCl / 0.2 g solution

    * Solve for x:

    x = (10 g NaCl * 0.2 g solution) / 100 g solution

    x = 0.02 g NaCl

    Therefore, there are 0.02 grams of NaCl in 200 mg of a 10% salt solution.
