What mass of Sodium Chloride is required to make 100.0 mL of 3.0 M solution?

17.55 g of NaCl

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Molarity = 3 M

Volume = 100.0 mL

Mass of NaCl =..?

Next, we shall convert 100.0 mL to L. This can be obtained as follow:

1000 mL = 1 L

Therefore,

100 mL = 100/1000

100 mL = 0.1 L

Therefore, 100 mL is equivalent to 0.1 L.

Next, we shall determine the number of mole NaCl in the solution. This can be obtained as follow:

Molarity = 3 M

Volume = 0.1 L

Mole of NaCl =?

Molarity = mole /Volume

3 = mole of NaCl /0.1

Cross multiply

Mole of NaCl = 3 × 0.1

Mole of NaCl = 0.3 mole

Finally, we determine the mass of NaCl required to prepare the solution as follow:

Mole of NaCl = 0.3 mole

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

Mass of NaCl =?

Mole = mass /Molar mass

0.3 = mass of NaCl /58.5

Cross multiply

Mass of NaCl = 0.3 × 58.5

Mass of NaCl = 17.55 g

Therefore, 17.55 g of NaCl is needed to prepare the solution.

a. energy is absorbed in the reaction.

if in a given reaction the energy of products is greater than the energy of reactants it means that reaction is endothermic and during the reaction, the energy is absorbed by reactants. in an endothermic reaction, the products have more stored chemical energy than the reactants. and in this reaction the reactants are more stable than products before the compounds with less energy are always more stable.
