Volume/density of salt water
« on: July 22, 2009, 10:10:53 AM »
If I dissolve x grams of NaCl in y grams of H2O, what would the density be as a function of x and y Thanks

I'm not so sure there is a easy function for this, even for things like saturated solutions. Why not try collating a few data points and see if anything jumps out at you?

You will need density tables for that.
