Answer:

7.3125grams

Step-by-step explanation:

Molarity is the measure of the molar concentration of a solution. It can be calculated using the formula as follows:

Molarity = number of moles (n) ÷ volume (V)

Based on the information given,

Molarity = 1.25 M

Volume = 100 mL = 100/1000 = 0.1 L

Molarity = n/V

1.25 = n/0.1

n = 1.25 × 0.1

n = 0.125mol

Using the below formula to calculate the mass of NaCl;

mole = mass/molar mass

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

0.125 = mass/58.5

mass = 0.125 × 58.5

mass = 7.3125 grams
