At STP, adding salt to a 200 mL sample of water produces a saturated 1.7 M solution. How many grams of salt (NaCl) must be added to 200 mL to produce this solution?

Answer:

[tex]m_{NaCl}=19.9gNaCl[/tex]

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the formula for the calculation of molarity is:

[tex]M=\frac{n}{V}[/tex]

Whereas we can compute the moles of the solute as shown below, making sure the volume is in liters:

[tex]n=M*V[/tex]

Thus, by plugging in we obtain:

[tex]n=0.200L*1.70mol/L=0.170molNaCl[/tex]

Next, since the molar mass of NaCl is 58.44 g/mol, we obtain the following mass:

[tex]m_{NaCl}=0.170molNaCl*\frac{58.44gNaCl}{1molNaCl}\\\\m_{NaCl}=19.9gNaCl[/tex]
