How many grams of sodium chloride
(NaCl) are required to dissolve in
534 g of water to make a 0.875 m
solution?

Mass = 27.291 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of sodium chloride = ?

Mass of water = 534 g

Molality = 0.875 m

Solution:

Molality:

It is the number of moles of solute into kilogram of solvent.

Formula:

Molality = number of moles of solute / kilogram solvent

Mathematical expression:

m = n/kg

Now we will convert the g into kg.

Mass of water = 534 g× 1kg/1000 g = 0.534 kg

Now we will put  the values in formula.

0.875 m = n / 0.534 kg

n = 0.467 mol

Now we will calculate the mass of sodium chloride:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass =  0.467 mol  × 58.44 g/mol

Mass = 27.291 g
