Answer:

157.79 g

Step-by-step explanation:

The definition of molality is:

  • molality = moles of solute / kilogram of solvent

This means that in a 2.7 molal solution, there are 2.7 moles of NaCl per kilogram of water.

So now we convert those 2.7 moles of NaCl to grams, using its molar mass:

  • 2.7 mol * 58.44 g/mol = 157.79 g
