5.8 g

Explanation:

Molecular weight in Daltons is equivalent to the molecular weight in grams per mole.

The amount of NaCl required is calculated as follows:

(2 mol/L) (50 mL) (1 L/1000 mL) = 0.1 mol

This amount is converted to grams using the molar mass (58 g/mol).

(0.1 mol) (58 g/mol) = 5.8 g
