Be sure to use proper significant figures for all remaining problems. how many grams of nacl are present in 350 ml of 0.020 m nacl solution? (remember that 1 mole nacl = 58.44 g/mole.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Molarity is defined as number of moles of solute present in liter of solution.

Mathematically, Molarity =
(no. of moles)/(volume in liter)

It is known that 1000 mL equals 1 L so, 350 ml equals 0.35 L. Therefore, calculate no. of moles as follows.

Molarity =
(no. of moles)/(volume in liter)

0.020 M =
(no. of moles)/(0.35 L)

no. of moles = 0.007 mol

Also, it is known that no. of moles equal mass divided by molar mass. Molar mass of NaCl is 58.44 g/mol.

Thus, calculate mass of NaCl as follows.

No. of moles =
(mass)/(molar mass)

0.007 mol =
(mass)/(58.44 g/mol)

mass = 0.409 g

Thus, we can conclude that 0.409 grams of NaCl are present in 350 ml of 0.020 m nacl solution.
