Answer : The mass of NaCl required are 14.61 grams

Explanation : Given,

Molar mass of NaCl = 58.44 g/mole

Volume of solution = 500.00 mL

Molarity of NaCl = 0.5 M = 0.5 mole/L

Molarity : It is defined as the number of moles of solute present in 1 liter of solution.

Formula used :


Molarity=\frac{\text{Mass of NaCl}* 1000}{\text{Molar mass of NaCl}* \text{volume of solution in ml}}

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:


0.5mole/L=\frac{\text{Mass of NaCl}* 1000}{58.44g/mole* 500.00ml}


\text{Mass of NaCl}=14.61g

Therefore, the mass of NaCl required are 14.61 grams
