494.49 g of NaCl.

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include the following:

Molality of NaCl = 3.140 m

Mass of water = 2.692 kg

Mass of NaCl =.?

Next, we shall determine the number of mole of NaCl in the solution.

Molality is simply defined as the mole of solute per unit kilogram of solvent. Mathematically, it is expressed as

Molality = mole of solute /Kg of solvent

With the above formula, we can obtain the number of mole NaCl in the solution as follow:

Molality of NaCl = 3.140 m

Mass of water = 2.692 kg

Mole of NaCl =..?

Molality = mole of solute /Kg of solvent

3.140 = mole of NaCl /2.692

Cross multiply

Mole of NaCl = 3.140 x 2.692

Mole of NaCl = 8.45288 moles

Finally, we shall covert 8.45288 moles of NaCl to grams. This can be obtained as follow:

Mole of NaCl = 8.45288 moles

Molar mass of NaCl = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5 g/mol

Mass of NaCl =.?

Mole = mass /Molar mass

8.45288 = mass of NaCl /58.5

Cross multiply

Mass of NaCl = 8.45288 × 58.5

Mass of NaCl = 494.49 g.

Therefore, 494.49 g of NaCl are present in the solution.

definition

                    entropy is a measure of the randomness or the extent of disorder of a chemical process.

                      enthalpy is a measure of the heat change of a reaction occurring at a constant pressure.

measurement units:

                        entropy is measured in joule per kelvin (jk⁻¹)   whereas enthalpy is measured in joule per mole (jmol⁻¹)

requirements:

                            entropy has no requirements or limits, and its change is measured by the division between the heat change of the chemical process and the temperature.

                              in contrast, enthalpy can only be related to the heat change of the reaction under standard conditions.
