First, we require the density of ice. This is 57.2 lb/ft³.

Using the following formula, we can calculate the volume of ice:

density = mass / volume

volume = 57.2 / 6 lbs

Volume = 9.53 ft³ = 270 liters

Now, the molarity of a substance is the number of moles of solute per liter of solvent. Now that we have the liters of water, we now calculate the moles of NaCl,

moles = mass / molecular weight

moles = (2 lb * 454 g / 1 lb) / (58.5)

moles = 15.5

molarity = 15.5 / 270

molarity = 0.057 molar
