To prepare 100.0 mL of a 0.0525 M solution of NaCl in water, what mass of sodium chloride is needed? The molar mass of NaCl is 58.44 g/mol.

0.307 g

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Volume of solution: 100.0 mL

Molarity of the NaCl solution: 0.0525 M

Molar mass of NaCl: 58.44 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate the moles of NaCl required

The molarity is equal to the moles of solute (NaCl) divided by the liters of solution.

M = moles of NaCl / liters of solution

moles of NaCl = M × liters of solution

moles of NaCl = 0.0525 mol/L × 0.1000 L = 5.25 × 10⁻³ mol

Step 3: Calculate the mass corresponding to 5.25 × 10⁻³ moles of NaCl

5.25 × 10⁻³ mol × 58.44 g/mol = 0.307 g

that tool would be a compass

um i think it might be a car?
