How many moles of sodium chloride are present in 0.50 kg of a 1.0 m solution of sodium chloride in water? mol sodium chloride

=0.5 moles

Explanation:

Let us assume that the sodium chloride solution has a density of 1g/cm³.

Therefore the volume of the 0.5 kg of solution will be calculated as follows.

0.5kg into grams=0.5 kg×1000g/kg

=500g

volume= mass/density

=500g/1g/cm³

=500cm³

The solution is 1.0 M which means that 1.0 moles are in 1000 cm³

500cm³ will have:

(500 cm³×1.0 moles)/1000 cm³

=0.5 moles

your answer would be “dry”
