18.

Kenisha wants to raise saltwater fish. She has an aquarium that she previously used to raise freshwater fish. Kenisha wonders, “Does adding salt to freshwater change the weight of the aquarium?” To find out, she plans an investigation using a beaker of water and salt, as shown.

Kenisha follows these steps: 1. Fill a beaker with water until the beaker weighs 50 grams. 2. Weigh out 15 grams of salt. 3. Add the salt from step 2 to the water and stir. 4. Weigh the beaker.

What will happen to the weight of the beaker?

a)

The beaker will weigh less.

b)

The beaker will weigh more because she's adding 15 grams of salt to 50 grams of water.

c)

It will weigh the same because the salt will dissolve in the water.
