Question

what is the  concentration of a NaCl solution, in Molarity, if you add 59.76 g of NaCl into 270 mL of H2O

Answer 1

Hey there!

Molar mass NaCl = 58.44 g/mol

Number of moles

n =  mass of solute / molar mass

n = 59.76 / 58.44

n = 1.0225 moles of NaCl

Volume in liters:

270 mL / 1000 => 0.27 L

Therefore:

M = number of moles / volume ( L )

M = 1.0225 / 0.27

= 3.78 M

Hope that helps!
