Answer:
50000ppm and 0.855M.
Explanation:
ppm is an unit of chemistry defined as the ratio between mg of solute (NaCl) and Liters of solution. Molarity, M, is the ratio between moles of NaCl and liters
A 5% (w/v) NaCl contains 5g of NaCl in 100mL of solution.
To solve the ppm of this solution we need to find the mg of NaCl and the L of solution:
<em>mg NaCl:</em>
5g * (1000mg / 1g) = 5000mg
<em>L Solution:</em>
100mL * (1L / 1000mL) = 0.100L
ppm:
5000mg / 0.100L = 50000ppm
To find molarity we need to obtain the moles of NaCl in 5g using its molar mass:
5g * (1mol / 58.5g) = 0.0855moles NaCl
Molarity:
0.0855mol NaCl / 0.100L = 0.855M
