The problem reads:

A chemistry student needs **10.0 g** of isopropenylbenzene for an experiment. The student has available **1.5 kg** of an **18.3% w/w** (weight/weight) solution of isopropenylbenzene in carbon tetrachloride.

**Question:**
- Calculate the mass of solution the student should use.
- If there's not enough solution, press the "No solution" button.

### Steps to solve:

1. **Formula for solution calculation:**

   \[
   \text{Mass of solute} = \left( \frac{\%\text{ of solute in solution}}{100} \right) \times \text{Mass of solution}
   \]
   
   Rearranging for the mass of solution:
   
   \[
   \text{Mass of solution} = \frac{\text{Mass of solute}}{\%\text{ of solute in solution} / 100}
   \]
   
2. **Given values:**
   - Mass of isopropenylbenzene (solute) = **10.0 g**
   - Concentration of solution = **18.3% w/w**
   - Available mass of solution = **1.5 kg** = **1500 g**
   
3. **Substitute values:**

   \[
   \text{Mass of solution} = \frac{10.0 \, \text{g}}{18.3 / 100} = \frac{10.0}{0.183} \approx 54.64 \, \text{g}
   \]

4. **Check if there's enough solution:**
   - Required mass of solution = **54.64 g**
   - Available solution = **1500 g**, which is more than enough.

### Answer:
The student should use **54.64 g** of the solution.

1. How would the calculation change if the percentage concentration was different?
2. What if the required amount of isopropenylbenzene was 20.0 g?
3. How do you convert between different units (g, kg, etc.) for solutions?
4. What is the significance of w/w percentage in solutions?
5. How do you determine the limiting factor if the solute's concentration is lower?

**Tip:** Always double-check units when performing calculations in chemistry to ensure accuracy!
