what is the molarity of the solution formed when 7.88 grams of NaCl is mixed with enough water to make 350. mL of solution?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The molarity of the solution is 0.386 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of NaCl = 7.88 grams

Volume of the solution = 350 mL

Molar mass of NaCl = 58.5 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate number of moles

Number of moles NaCl = mass of NaCl / molar mass of NaCl

Number of moles NaCl = 7.88 grams / 58.5 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.135 moles

Step 3: Calculate molarity of the solution

Molarity = Number of moles NaCl / volume

Molarity = 0.135 moles / 0.350 L

Molarity = 0.386 M

The molarity of the solution is 0.386M
