TABLE 1.
Various NaCl and distilled water masses utilized for solution preparation in this study
| Saline concentration (mass %) | NaCl mass (g) | Distilled water mass (g) | Solution molarity (mol L-1) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0.9 | 0.900 | 99.1 | 0.0154 |
| 3 | 3.00 | 97.0 | 0.0514 |
| 5 | 5.00 | 95.0 | 0.0856 |
| 7 | 7.00 | 93.0 | 0.120 |
| 9 | 9.00 | 91.0 | 0.154 |
| 12 | 12.00 | 88.0 | 0.205 |
Note: Resulting solution molarities were calculated from solute and solvent masses assuming the saline density did not exceed 1.00 g mL-1 [14].
