Answer: 0.8M
Explanation:
Given that,
Amount of moles of NaCl (n) = ?
Mass of NaCl in grams = 1.40 g
For molar mass of NaCl, use the molar masses:
Sodium, Na = 23g;
Chlorine, Cl = 35.5g
NaCl = (23g + 35.5g)
= 58.5g/mol
Since, amount of moles = mass in grams / molar mass
n = 1.40g / 58.5g/mol
n = 0.024 mole
Now, given that:
Amount of moles of NaCl (n) = 0.024
Volume of NaCl solution (v) = 30.0mL
[Convert 30.0mL to liters
If 1000 mL = 1L
30.0mL = 30.0/1000 = 0.03L]
Concentration of NaCl solution (c) = ?
Since concentration (c) is obtained by dividing the amount of solute dissolved by the volume of solvent, hence
c = n / v
c = 0.024 mole / 0.03 L
c = 0.8 M (0.8M means concentration is in moles per litres)
Thus, the concentration of the solution is 0.8M
