Matias · Answer 1

g NaCl = 424.623 g

Explanation:

C NaCl = 3.140 m = 3.140 mol NaCl / Kg solvent

∴ solvent: H2O

∴ mass H2O = 2.314 Kg

mol NaCl:

⇒ mol NaCl = (3.140 mol NaCl/Kg H2O) * (2.314 Kg H2O) = 7.266 mol NaCl

∴ mm NaCl = 58.44 g/mol

⇒ g NaCl = (7.266 mol NaCl) * (58.44 g/mol) = 424.623 g NaCl
