###### FREE Expert Solution

Based on the information provided to prepare a 2.950x10-2 M NaCl solution in water at 20 °C, we´re asked to calculate the concentration of the salt solution in 4 parts

Molality (m), mole fraction (X), percent by mass (%), and parts per million (ppm).

For all cases, we need the amount of NaCl in the sample.

We calculate the moles of NaCl from the definition of Molarity (M):

$\overline{){\mathbf{Molarity}}{\mathbf{\left(}}{\mathbf{M}}{\mathbf{\right)}}{\mathbf{=}}\frac{\mathbf{moles}}{\mathbf{Liters}}}$
