Q: What is the percent by mass of NaCl in a solution made by dissolving 0.5 g of NaCl in 55.2 g of water?

$$\frac{0.5}{0.5 + 55.2} \times 100 = 0.90\%$$

Q: How many grams of NaCl are needed to prepare 50 mL of a 0.47 m (molal) solution? (Molar mass of NaCl = 58.44 g/mol)

$$0.47 \text{ mol/kg} \times 0.050 \text{ kg} \times 58.44 \text{ g/mol} = 1.37 \text{ g}$$

Q: You have a 5.0 M NaCl stock solution. How much of this stock solution is needed to prepare 250 mL of a 0.15 M NaCl solution?

$$V_1$$ = \frac{$$M_2$$ $$V_2$$}{$$M_1$$} = \frac{0.15 \times 250}{5.0} = 7.5 \text{ mL}$$

Q: What is the molality of a solution containing 25 g of NaCl in 200 mL of H$$_2O$$? (Molar mass NaCl = 58.44 g/mol; density of water = 1.00 g/mL)

$$\text{molality} = \frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{kg of solvent}} = \frac{25/58.44}{0.200} = 2.14 \text{ m}$$
