Final answer:
To change 5% W/V of NaCl to ppm, we calculate it as 50000 ppm. To convert it to molarity, we use the mass of NaCl and its molar mass to get a concentration of 0.855 M.
Step-by-step explanation:
To convert 5% W/V of NaCl to ppm, we use the fact that 5% W/V means 5 grams of NaCl in 100 mL of solution. Since 1 ppm is 1 mg/L, converting grams to milligrams and milliliters to liters, we have 50000 ppm (because 5 g = 5000mg and 100mL = 0.1L, so 5000 mg/0.1L = 50000 mg/L or 50000 ppm).
To convert to molarity (M), we use the molar mass of NaCl, which is 58.5 g/mol. Since 5% W/V is 5 g NaCl in 100 mL, to find moles we divide mass of NaCl by its molar mass (5 g ÷ 58.5 g/mol). Then, we convert 100 mL to liters to find molarity, which is moles of solute per liter of solution (0.0855 mol ÷ 0.1 L), thus the molarity is 0.855 M.
