    Answer: 6.58g

    Explanation: We are to find the mass of NaCl that can produce 15% solution in a 750ml

    STEP 1:

    the reaction moles

    NaCl + H2O = NaOH + HCl

    Therefore 1mole of NaCl reacts with 1mole of H2O

    STEP 2:

    convert 750ml to liter

    750ml * 1L/1000ml = 0.750L

    STEP3:

    convert percentage concentration to mol/L

    15% = 0.15mol/L

    STEP 4:

    find the mole

    Mole = concentration * volume

    0.15mol/L * 0.75L = 0.1125mol

    STEP 5:

    Find the mass

    Mass = mole * molar mass

    The molecular mass of NaCl is 23+35.5 = 58.5g/mol

    Therefore:

    0.1125mol * 58.5g/mol = 6.58g

    Approximately: 6.6g
