Question

The molecular weight of NaCl is 58.44 grams/moles. How many grams of NaCl are found in a beaket with 100 ml of a 0.0050 M solution

Answer 1

Answer:

The mass of NaCl is 0.029 grams

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Molecular weight of NaCl = 58.44 g/mol

Volume of solution = 100 mL = 0.100 L

Molarity = 0.0050 M

Step 2: Calculate moles NaCl

Moles NaCl = molarity * volume

Moles NaCl = 0.0050 M * 0.100 L

Moles NaCl = 0.00050 moles

Step 3: Calculate mass NaCl

Mass NaCl = moles NaCl * molar mass NaCl

Mass NaCl = 0.00050 moles * 58.44 g/mol

Mass NaCl = 0.029 grams

The mass of NaCl is 0.029 grams
