Answer: 1.461 g of NaCl is dissolved in the solution.
Explanation:
Molarity is defined as the amount of solute expressed in the number of moles present per liter of solution. The units of molarity are mol/L.
The formula used to calculate molarity:
[tex]\text{Molarity of solution}=\frac{\text{Given mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Given mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (mL)}}[/tex] .....(1)
Given values:
Molarity of solution = 0.050 M
Molar mass of NaCl = 58.44 g/mol
Volume of solution = 500.0 mL
Putting values in equation 1, we get:
[tex]0.050=\frac{\text{Given mass of NaCl}\times 1000}{58.44\times 500}\\\\\text{Given mass of NaCl}=\frac{0.050\times 58.44\times 500}{1000}\\\\\text{Given mass of NaCl}=1.461g[/tex]
Hence, 1.461 g of NaCl is dissolved in the solution.
