How many grams of solute are present in 50.0 ml of 0.360 m sodium chloride?

Molarity of a solution can be calculated using the following rule:

molarity = number of moles of solute / volume of solution

Therefore,

number of moles = molarity x volume = 0.360 x 0.5 = 0.18 moles

From the periodic table:

molecular mass of chlorine = 35.5 grams

molecular mass of sodium = 22.9 grams

Therefore,

molar mass of sodium chloride = 35.5 + 22.9 = 58.4 grams

Number of moles is calculated using the following rule:

number of moles = mass / molar mass

Therefore,

mass = number of moles x molar mass = 0.18 x 58.4 = 10.512 grams
